G.D., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 89-1181.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Dec. 26, 1989.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Robert Kalter, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Mark S. Dunn, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appel-lee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The State concedes, and we agree, that in the absence of any evidence that the substance taken from the custody or control of the defendant was cocaine as charged, the defendant’s motion for a judgment of acquittal for the offense of possession of cocaine with intent to sell, should have been granted. See G.E.G. v. State, 417 So.2d 975 (Fla.1982).

Reversed and remanded with instructions to discharge the defendant.
