Pugatch v. State

Pugatch v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 9, 1990 · Anstead, Dell, Letts
560 So. 2d 419; 1990 Fla. App. LEXIS 3156; 1990 WL 58552 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Pugatch v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We relinquished jurisdiction to the trial court for a reconstruction of the record. The trial court has certified that such reconstruction cannot be accomplished. We find merit in appellant’s argument that without a complete transcript of the trial proceedings, or an adequate reconstruction, appellate review would be futile.

Therefore, we reverse and remand this case for a new trial. See Yancey v. State, 267 So.2d 836 (Fla. 4th DCA 1972); Felton v. State, 523 So.2d 775 (Pla. 3d DCA 1988).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

ANSTEAD, LETTS and DELL, JJ., concur.
