Swain v. State (701 So. 2d 675, 1997)

PER CURIAM.

Carl Samuel Swain appeals his convictions of burglary with assault, battery, and violation of a restraining order (for protection against domestic violence). We vacate the convictions and remand for a new trial.

Following his convictions below, Swain filed a timely notice of appeal in which he specifically requested the jury voir dire portion of his trial transcript. The transcript received by Swain did not contain the voir dire portion of the proceedings. A hearing revealed that the voir dire portion of the transcript was lost and both parties stipulated that this portion of the transcript could not be reconstructed. Following Rosier v. State, 669 So.2d 353 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996), Swain is entitled to reversal of his convictions and a new trial. The State has conceded error. We hereby order a new trial.

Reversed and remanded.
