The STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Lorenzo PRINGLE, Appellee.
    No. 84-1387.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 20, 1985.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Renee E. Rus-ka Pelzman, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Bruce A. Rosenthal, Asst. Public Defender, for appellee.
    Before HENDRY, HUBBART and JOR-GENSON, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The State of Florida appeals from a final order adjudicating the defendant incompetent to stand trial. The state argues that the trial court should have held an incompetency hearing pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.212, even though the defendant was adjudicated incompetent approximately three weeks previously in an unrelated case. We affirm the order of the trial court without prejudice to the state’s filing a new motion to adjudicate defendant’s competency to stand trial at this time.

Affirmed.
