CABLE v. STATE

No. 96-1609.

687 So.2d 975 (1997)

Jeffrey Alan CABLE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

February 19, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Gary Caldwell, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

We reverse and remand for a new trial. It was error to admit trial testimony as to a horizontal gaze nystagmus test performed by the arresting officer without laying a predicate for its admission as scientific evidence. See State v. Meador, 674 So.2d 826 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); Melvin v. State, 677 So.2d 1317 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).
