57 So.3d 292 (2011)

Corey Jermaine POTTS, Appellant, v. State of FLORIDA, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

March 30, 2011.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout , Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff , Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi , Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers , Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


TAYLOR, J.

Corey Jermaine Potts appeals his conviction and sentence for burglary of a dwelling. He argues that the trial court reversibly erred in allowing the fingerprint examiner to testify that his identification was verified by another examiner from a different police department, thereby bolstering his testimony. We agree and reverse for a new trial. We disagree, however, that the trial court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal.
