Willie George Dixon, Jr. v. State of Florida
Opinion
FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D17-3367 _____________________________ WILLIE GEORGE DIXON, JR., Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. _____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.

PER CURIAM.
Willie George Dixon, Jr. raises three issues on appeal. The first, regarding the trial court’s failure to conduct a proper competency determination, requires reversal—which the State concedes. The other two we find to be without merit. The remedy is a remand for the trial court to conduct a nunc pro tunc competency evaluation; if one cannot be done, Dixon must receive a new trial. See Brooks v. State, 180 So. 3d 1094, 1095 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).
MAKAR, WINOKUR, and WINSOR, JJ., concur. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________
Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Justin Foster Karpf, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Steven Edward Woods, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
