PER CURIAM.

We grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus and order that an adversarial probable cause hearing be held on L.T. case no. 96-11537 within a reasonable time. The filing of an information twenty-nine (29) days after the petitioner's arrest did not meet the requirements of the rule. Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.133(a)(1) (b)(1); see also Bannister v. Hendry, 625 So.2d 1244, 1245 (Fla. 4th DCA), rev. denied, 630 So.2d 1098 (Fla. 1993).
