PER CURIAM.
Willie George Dixon, Jr. raises three issues on appeal. The
first, regarding the trial court’s failure to conduct a proper
competency determination, requires reversal—which the State
concedes. The other two we find to be without merit. The remedy
is a remand for the trial court to conduct a nunc pro tunc
competency evaluation; if one cannot be done, Dixon must receive
a new trial. See Brooks v. State, 180 So. 3d 1094, 1095 (Fla. 1st
DCA 2015).
MAKAR, WINOKUR, and WINSOR, JJ., concur.
