596 So.2d 1150 (1992)

Dewey FUTCH, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing and Certification Denied May 14, 1992.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Mallorye Cunningham, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Melynda Melear, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach for appellee.


GARRETT, Judge.

Dewey Futch [Futch] appeals his conviction and thirty-year prison sentence for a $20 purchase of two cocaine rocks within 1,000 feet of a school. He claims that the trial court should have granted his motion for judgment of acquittal because the police entrapped him as a matter of law. We agree and reverse. Because we also remand with directions to the trial court to discharge appellant we need not address any of the remaining issues.
