Head Matter:
Eloy SOLIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 4D01-230.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Dec. 5, 2001.
Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Gary Caldwell, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Donna L. Eng, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We reverse appellant's conviction following a nonjury trial because there was no valid waiver of jury trial by appellant, either orally or in writing. The record shows that only appellant's counsel advised the court that appellant was waiving a jury. This, as the state recognizes in its concession of error, is insufficient. Babb v. State, 736 So.2d 35 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). Reversed.
POLEN, C.J., KLEIN and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
