Head Matter:
William BROWN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 88-3268.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
April 18, 1990.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Alfonso M. Saldana, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Reversed and remanded for a new trial. We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in refusing to allow the state to amend the information by reducing the charge to a lesser offense. Since the appellant agreed, we find no basis for the trial court to deny the amendment.
HERSEY, C.J., and ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur.
