No. 88-2795.

569 So.2d 1332 (1990)

Richard Bernard OLIVER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

November 9, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Barbara M. Linthicum, Public Defender, Nancy L. Showalter, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Virlindia A. Sample, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.


SMITH, Judge.

Appellant seeks reversal of his conviction for uttering and seeks a new trial, claiming as reversible error the trial court's denial of his motion to sever the defendants listed on the charging document, the denial of his motion for a mistrial, and the denial of his request to proffer the codefendant who testified outside the appellant's presence. We agree that the trial court abused its discretion in denying severance and reverse.
