v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2007-05-04
No. 5D06-1841
ORFINGER, MONACO and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
954 So. 2d 1279 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2007) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Cochran contends the trial court erred by conducting his trial without holding a competency hearing after having invoked the procedure for determining competency under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.210. The State properly concedes error. Cochran v. State, 925 So. 2d 370 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006). We vacate Cochran’s convictions and sentence. We remand for a competency determination and retrial if Cochran is found competent to proceed. Tingle v. State, 536 So. 2d 202 (Fla.1988).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

ORFINGER, MONACO and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
