Bradley R. Bischoff, Assistant General Counsel, Florida Parole Commission, Tallahassee, for Appellee, Florida Parole Commission.

No appearance for Appellee, State of Florida.


PER CURIAM.

The Appellant, James Edward Rivers, appeals the denial of his Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus. The trial court denied the petition after finding that it was successive to an earlier filed petition. The State concedes that the petition before the trial court was not successive. Accordingly, we reverse the denial of the petition and remand this matter to the trial court for a consideration of the merits.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
