Calvin WRIGHT, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 94-2435.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Feb. 15, 1995.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Andrew M. Teschner, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Joni Braunstein, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appel-lee.
    Before NESBITT, BASKIN and GERSTEN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

CONFESSION OF ERROR

The state correctly concedes that the trial court erred in conducting a bench trial even though defendant did not waive his right to a jury trial. Tucker v. State, 559 So.2d 218 (Fla.1990). The record contains “no written waiver of a jury trial and the trial court failed to inquire into the defendant’s waiver of a jury trial_” Tucker, 559 So.2d at 220. We, therefore, reverse the conviction and sentence and remand for trial.

Reversed and remanded.
