Opinion filed March 1, 2019.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk
County; Mark F. Carpanini, Judge.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Johnny T. Salgado,
Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for
Appellant/Cross-Appellee.

Michael Hrdlicka of Gomez & Touger, P.A.,
Bartow, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant.



PER CURIAM.

             After a thorough review, we conclude that the postconviction court did not

commit reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the order granting Gairy E. Castor's

motion for postconviction relief, vacating his convictions and sentences, and ordering a

new trial. In light of our affirmance, Castor's cross-appeal is rendered moot.
           Affirmed.
