Appellant, the State of Florida, contends that the trial court erred in granting the motion to dismiss filed by appellee/defend-ant, Johnny Wardlow. We agree.

After appellee filed a motion to dismiss a one-count information charging him with making a false statement for the purpose of obtaining food stamps, in violation of Section 409.325, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1976), the state filed a sworn traverse which specifically denied the factual allegations contained in the motion. Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.190(d) states in pertinent part: “A motion to dismiss under paragraph (c)(4) of this rule shall be denied if the state files a traverse which denies under oath a material fact alleged in the motion to dismiss.” Accordingly, the trial court should have denied the motion, and it was error to dismiss the information. See State v. News-Press Publishing Co., 338 So.2d 1313 (Fla. 2d DCA 1976).

We reverse the trial court’s order and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

REVERSED and REMANDED.
