GRANT v. STATE

No. 2D99-1221.

779 So.2d 355 (2000)

Vernon GRANT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

March 29, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender and Raymond Dix, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee and Helene S. Parnes, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


CAMPBELL, Acting Chief Judge.

Appellant challenges the order revoking his probation. We reverse because the court failed to sufficiently apprise appellant of the dangers and disadvantages of self-representation. Such a failure is reversible error and is not subject to the harmless error rule. See Jones v. State, 650 So.2d 1095 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995). See also Vera v. State, 689 So.2d 389
