    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Aug. 6, 1997.
    Johnny C. Harris, in pro. per.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and John E. Morrison, Special Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Roberta G. Mandel, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

   CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

As the state appropriately concedes, the appellant’s conviction for direct criminal contempt because of an improper remark he allegedly made to the trial judge must be reversed because of the court’s failure to adhere to the provisions of Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.830. Accord Patz v. State, 691 So.2d 66 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997).
