No. 85-373.
January 28, 1986. Rehearing Denied March 3, 1986.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Sidney B. Shapiro, J.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Richard L. Polin, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellant.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Henry H. Harnage, Asst. Public Defender, Nathan and Williams and Douglas Williams, Moore Rabin, Miami, for appellees.
Before BARKDULL, NESBITT and FERGUSON, JJ.
The state appeals an order dismissing the information against the defendants. We reverse. The state does not have an obligation to produce witnesses for deposition. State v. Valdes, 443 So.2d 302 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983); State v. Roig, 305 So.2d 836 (Fla. 3d DCA 1974). Once the state revealed the name and address of the informant, it fulfilled its obligation. Consequently, there was no discovery violation and the imposition of a sanction against the state, in this case dismissal of the information, was erroneous. Valdes.
Reversed and remanded.
