Opinion

No. 92-1139.

December 8, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Dade County, Gerald D. Hubbart, J.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Louis Campbell, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Fleur J. Lobree, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and FERGUSON and GODERICH, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Where the State's articulated reason for a peremptory challenge to a black venireperson is clearly a subterfuge for a race-based exclusion, the error will be held adequately preserved on a showing that a timely objection was interposed and overruled. Jefferson v. State, 595 So.2d 38 (Fla. 1992).

Reversed and remanded.
