No. 85-318.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
June 10, 1986.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Marti Rothenberg, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Steven T. Scott, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
A trial judge may not summarily adjudicate defendant guilty of direct criminal contempt when the alleged contemptuous conduct took place, not in his presence or within his hearing, but in fact took place at another time and before a different trial judge. Lopez v. State, 423 So.2d 998 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982); Rule 3.830 Fla.R.Crim.P.
Therefore we reverse the adjudication of direct criminal contempt here under review.
Reversed.
