No. 98-1127.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Sept. 23, 1998.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Christine E. Zahralban, Assistant Attorney General, for petitioner.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Suzanne M. Froix, Assistant Public Defender, for respondent.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and GODERICH, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Because the opinion of the circuit court, appellate division, departs from the essential requirements of law, see Evans v. State, 693 So.2d 1096 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 112 S.Ct. 475, 116 L.Ed.2d 385 (1991); see also State v. DiGuilio, 491 So.2d 1129 (Fla.1986), we grant the petition for writ of certiorari, quash the opinion of the circuit court, and reinstate the trial court's judgment of conviction and sentence.
