Henry WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 97-1522.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    April 30, 1999.
    Rehearing Denied June 3, 1999.
    Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Carl S’. McGinnes, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee.
    Henry Williams, Pro Se.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the appellant’s convictions and remand this case to the trial court for a new trial because the trial court permitted the appellant to handle significant portions of his defense without first advising him of the dangers of self-representation. See Brooks v. State, 703 So.2d 504 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997).

ERVIN, ALLEN and DAVIS, JJ., CONCUR.
