Head Matter:
Malachi FREEMAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 2D00-2943.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Dec. 5, 2001.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 11, 2002.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Allyn M. Giambalvo, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Wendy Buffington, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Ap-pellee.

Opinion:
SALCINES, Judge.
Malachi Freeman appeals an order finding him guilty of indirect criminal contempt for failing to appear in response to a subpoena. The clerk of the circuit court certified that a transcript of a hearing, which took place on April 14, 2000, does not exist. Criminal proceedings must be reported. Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.070(g). Because a record of this hearing cannot be provided through no fault of the defendant, and this missing record is necessary for this court's complete review, we must reverse and remand this matter for a new hearing on Mr. Freeman's indirect criminal contempt. See Jones v. State, 780 So.2d 218 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).
Reversed and remanded.
