Opinion:
OPINION OF THE COURT
SALMON, J.
The State is not responsible to produce state witnesses subpoenaed by the defense for discovery purposes. State v. Del Guadio, 445 So.2d 605 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984). The requests for continuance made by Appellee, therefor, made him unavailable for trial within the meaning of the speedy trial rule. He should not have been discharged. Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.191(d)(3).
Reversed and remanded for trial.
HENDERSON and NADLER, JJ., concur.
