District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Henry Williams, Pro Se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
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).
