Ross v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 17, 1998 · Davis, Joanos, Kahn
722 So. 2d 263; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 15840; 1998 WL 874850 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Ross v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The trial court did not conduct an adequate inquiry into appellant’s objections to his court appointed counsel before discharging counsel and requiring appellant to attempt to conduct his own defense at trial. Therefore, we reverse and remand for a new trial. See Hardwick v. State, 521 So.2d 1071 (Fla. 1988); Nelson v. State, 274 So.2d 256 (Fla. 4th DCA 1973).

JOANOS, KAHN and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
