David MANGAM, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 75-4.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Dec. 31, 1975.
    
      Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and James R. Merola, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Paul H. Zacks, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals from the revocation of his probation.

It is manifest from the colloquy that the trial court, in effect, ruled that appellant did not have Fifth Amendment constitutional rights and penalized him for refusing to testify.

We reverse upon authority of Heath v. State, 310 So.2d 38 (Fla.App. 4th, 1975), and remand for a new hearing.

Reversed and remanded.

WALDEN, C. J., and OWEN and MA-GER, JJ., concur.
