Error: orphaned case

I get this error message in my switch statement, hope someone can help!

import java.awt.*;

class Animal
{ private int x_pos;
private int y_pos;
private int radius;

private static final int active = 0;
private static final int sleeping = 1;
private static final int tootired = 200;
private static final double sleepnow = tootired*0.9;
private static final double wakeupnow = tootired*0.1;

private int numberofticks;
private int state;
private int sleepiness;

private Habitat container;

public Animal(int x_initial, int y_initial, int r, Habitat hab)
{ x_pos = x_initial;
y_pos = y_initial;
radius = r;
container = hab;
state = active;
sleepiness = 0;
numberofticks=0;

}

public int xPosition()
{ return x_pos; }

public int yPosition()
{ return y_pos; }

public int radiusOf()
{ return radius; }

public void move()
{ boolean searching=true;
double sleepiness_score;
numberofticks++;

switch (state) {
case active:
if (numberofticks%10 == 0) sleepiness++;
sleepiness_score = Math.round(Math.random()*sleepiness);
if (sleepiness_score>sleepnow) {
state=sleeping;
}
while (searching) {

y_pos = y_pos + (int)Math.round(Math.random()*2-1);

searching = (!container.inHorizontalContact(x_pos) &&
!container.inVerticalContact(y_pos));

break;

case sleeping:
if (numberofticks%10 == 0) sleepiness-=3;
sleepiness_score =
Math.round(Math.random()*(tootired-sleepiness))+sleepiness;
if (sleepiness_score<wakeupnow) {
state= active;
}
break;

}
}
}

Does that work? I think not.

A good example of why opening braces should go on their own line.  The
mismatch would have been much more blatant.

Doubtful, as the indentation suggested the proper structure, but he, for
