Opinion

No. 89-0818.

March 13, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Leroy H. Moe, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Marcy K. Allen, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We perceive only one error in this case. Defense counsel objected when the state peremptorily challenged black veniremen. The trial court erroneously overruled these objections. State v. Slappy, 522 So.2d 18 (Fla.), cert. denied, 487 U.S. 1219, 108 S.Ct. 2873, 101 L.Ed.2d 909 (1988). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for new trial.

HERSEY, C.J., and GLICKSTEIN and DELL, JJ., concur.
