Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and LEVY and GERSTEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The petition for writ of certiorari is granted upon the authority of State v. Cecil, 533 So.2d 884 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988) and State v. Mesa, 395 So.2d 242 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). Under the circumstances of the case, the exclusion of the officers as witnesses was tantamount to a dismissal.
Accordingly, certiorari is granted, the order under review is quashed, and the cause remanded.
