Dwight DEVAUGHN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 90-3640.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    July 3, 1991.
    Rehearing Denied Aug. 19, 1991.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Nancy L. Showalter, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Vir-lindia Doss, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges his conviction for aggravated assault with a firearm, asserting error in the trial court’s refusal to give an instruction on the category 2 lesser included offense of improper exhibition of a firearm. Because we find that the pleadings and proof supported a charge for improper exhibition, it was error for the trial court to refuse the requested charge. See Meyer v. State, 501 So.2d 8 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986); Janus v. State, 477 So.2d 644 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985).

Accordingly, the judgment of conviction is reversed and the case is remanded for a new trial.

ERVIN, ZEHMER and MINER, JJ., concur.
