CLEVELAND WILLIAMS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE
[*927] NORTHCUTT, Judge.
Cleveland Williams challenges the revocation of his probation after officials at the sex offender treatment program in which Williams was enrolled ejected him from the program. We reverse because the probation condition, as amended on March 16, 2001, simply required Williams to successfully complete sex offender treatment within three years. Because there yet remains time in the probation period to satisfy this requirement, Williams’s termination from the program on this occasion did not violate the condition. We direct the court to reinstate Williams’s probation to allow him the balance of the three-year period to complete this condition. See Muthra v. State, 777 So. 2d 1067 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001); Gamble v. State, 737 So. 2d 1160 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

State, 845 So. 2d 335 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003)…there remained time in Hardy’s probationary period to satisfy the treatment requirement, Hardy’s unsuccessful discharge from the program only eight months into his thirty-month probationary term did not violate the condition.
