Senior Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of Columbia, for Petitioner.

Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Senior Assistant Attorney General Karen Christine Ratigan, of Columbia, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Petitioner seeks a writ of certiorari from the dismissal, after a hearing, of his application for post-conviction relief (PCR). By separate opinion of this same date, we reversed the denial of PCR for petitioner's codefendant, Kenneth Workman. See Workman v. State, Op. No. 27514 (S.C. Sup. Ct. dated April 15, 2015). For the same reason set forth therein, we grant this petition for a writ of certiorari, dispense with further briefing, reverse the PCR judge's denial of relief, and remand for a new trial in petitioner's criminal case as well.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.
