ROSS v. STATE

No. 97-1207

722 So.2d 263 (1998)

Michael Angelo ROSS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

December 17, 1998.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Teresa J. Sopp, Jacksonville, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Trina Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The trial court did not conduct an adequate inquiry into appellant's objections to his court appointed counsel before discharging counsel and requiring appellant to attempt to conduct his own defense at trial. Therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial. See Hardwick v. State, 521 So.2d 1071 (Fla.1988); Nelson v. State, 274 So.2d 256 (Fla. 4th DCA 1973).
