Head Matter:
The STATE of Florida, Petitioner, v. Terrence BURNS, Respondent.
No. 3D02-2872.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Feb. 19, 2003.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General, and Andrea D. England (Ft.Lauderdale), Assistant Attorney General, for petitioner.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Billie Jan Goldstein, Assistant Public Defender, for respondent.
Before COPE, LEVY, and FLETCHER, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this certiorari proceeding, the State requests that this court quash a decision of the appellate division of the circuit court, which decision reversed the battery conviction of respondent Burns and remanded the cause for a new trial. Our review of the record leads us to conclude that -the circuit court did not depart from the essential requirements of the law. See Haines City Community Dev. v. Heggs, 658 So.2d 523 (Fla.1995); Combs v. State, 436 So.2d 93 (Fla.1983). As a consequence we must deny the State's petition.
Petition denied.
