THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Petitioner, vs. CLIFTON CLAYTON BOGGESS, Respondent. 3rd District. Criminal law -- Discovery -- Reciprocal discovery -- Order permitting defendant to withdraw demand for discovery, and denying State's motion to compel reciprocal discovery is reversed

THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Petitioner, vs. CLIFTON CLAYTON BOGGESS, Respondent. 3rd District. Case No. 97-2120. L.T. Case No. F97-10143. Opinion filed September 17, 1997. A Writ of Certiorari to the Circuit Court for Dade County, Maxine Cohen Lando, Judge. Counsel: Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Katherine Fernandez Rundle, State Attorney and Michael E. Gilfarb, Assistant State Attorney, for petitioner. Laurie D. Hall (Tavernier), for respondent.

(Before JORGENSON, GERSTEN, and GREEN, JJ.)

(PER CURIAM.) The State seeks certiorari review of an order permitting the defendant to withdraw his demand for discovery, and denying the State's motion to compel reciprocal discovery.

Upon the defendant's proper confession of error, we grant the State's Petition for Writ of Certiorari and quash the order on review. ``Once a defendant makes a written demand for discovery, he is committed to the disclosure process and must reciprocate by making disclosures to the prosecution as required by the rule.'' State v. Meggison, 556 So. 2d 816, 816 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990).

Petition granted; order quashed.
