Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 16, 2018
250 So. 3d 872 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Dixon v. State

Opinion of the Court

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 *873receive a new trial. See Brooks v. State , 180 So.3d 1094, 1095 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015).

Makar, Winokur, and Winsor, JJ., concur.
