An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Alfonso C. Sepe, Judge.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and JORGENSON, JJ.
The defendant appeals his conviction for possession of cocaine. We reverse and remand for a new trial upon the authority of White v. State, 579 So.2d 784 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991) (failure to exclude prospective juror for cause was reversible error, where proper procedures were followed, peremptory challenges were exhausted, and challenge of another objectionable juror was denied). See also Trotter v. State, 576 So.2d 691 (Fla. 1990).
Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
