Head Matter:
Todd Edwin HYDE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. AC-26.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Oct. 14, 1981.
Rehearing Denied Nov. 20, 1981.
Richard M. Powers, Flynn & Powers, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and David P. Gauldin, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
On Hyde's appeal from a judgment of conviction entered on his nolo con-tendere plea, reserving the right to appeal the court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence of Hyde's field of growing mari juana plants, we find the search did not offend Fourth Amendment standards and that the court properly denied the suppression motion. However, there being no available record showing that the nolo con-tendere plea was accepted by the court after the required inquiries to Hyde, Fla.R. Crim.P. 3.170(j), 3.172, Hyde was free to withdraw his plea and the court erred in failing to allow withdrawal. The judgment must be vacated and the case remanded for further proceedings.
REVERSED.
ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C.J., and McCORD and MILLS, JJ., concur.
