J.B.M., A CHILD, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
PER CURIAM.
A child who has been found to have committed a delinquent act (§ 39.10(3), Fla. Stat.) has not been convicted of a felony as defined in Article X, section 10, Florida Constitution, and section 775.08(1), Florida Statutes, although under section 39.10(4), Florida Statutes (1987), for use in subsequent juvenile proceedings, an adjudication of a prior delinquent act is deemed a “conviction.” Therefore, based on a prior delinquency adjudication, a child cannot be found to be a felon and to have violated section 790.23, Florida Statutes, which prohibits possession of a firearm by any person who has been “convicted of a felony.” Accordingly, the adjudication of delinquency below, based on the child’s violation of section 790.23, Florida Statutes, is
REVERSED.

State v. Zina Johnson, 814 So. 2d 390 (Fla. 2002)…override the notice requirement of section 395.3025(4)(d). See Ussery v. State, 654 So. 2d 561, 562 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995); Hunter v.

Hunter v. State, 639 So. 2d 72 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994)…s a subpoena is issued by “a court of competent jurisdiction and [with] proper notice by the party seeking such records to the patient or his [or her] legal representative.” §§' 395.3025(4)(d), 455.241(2), Fla.Stat. (1993); see also State v. Wenger, 560 So. 2d 347 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990) (holding that the statutory privilege requires the state to give a patient notice when his or her records are sought by subpoena).

The trial court granted Rutherford’s motion to suppress the medical records obtained by the subpoena, on the basis of State v. Wenger, 560 So. 2d 347 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990).1 The court denied the state’s request for an opportunity to comply with Hunter by demonstrating the relevancy of the records to its pending criminal investigation so that a second subpoena duces tecum could issue for the same me…1 / 2
