Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Phillip Bowe appeals his trafficking in cocaine conviction and sentence. We reverse and remand for a new trial.
During deliberations, the jury requested written instructions for trafficking in cocaine and attempted trafficking in cocaine. Defense counsel objected and argued that pursuant to Rule 3.400(c), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, if any written instructions are taken to the jury room, the jury must take all the instructions. The trial court overruled the objection and only gave the jury written copies of the requested instructions.
This court has addressed the issue twice and both times found that reversible error occurs when, as here, the trial court fails to strictly comply with Rule 3.400(c). Zarattini v. State, 571 So.2d 553 (Fla. 4th DCA1990); Simmons v. State, 541 So.2d 171 (Fla. 4th DCA1989).
We find no merit as to the remaining issue.
REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR A NEW TRIAL.
POLEN and FARMER, JJ., concur.
GARRETT, J., specially concurs with opinion.
