EMAS, J.
Defendant Alfonso Medrano appeals his conviction and sentence for trafficking in 3-, 4-methylenedioxymethampetamine ("MDMA" or "ecstasy"). We reverse and remand for a new trial, holding that the trial court abused its discretion in denying Medrano a continuance to permit him to take the deposition of the co-defendant, who pled guilty immediately prior to the commencement of the trial and testified against Medrano at trial.
