    Lorraine PERETZ, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 97-2697.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    May 27, 1998.
    
      Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Margaret Good-Earnest, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Charles M. Fahlbusch, Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Reversed. Because a transcript of this involuntary commitment hearing cannot be produced due to technological failings of the recording equipment at the hearing, and neither the trial court nor the attorneys are able to reconstruct the record of proceedings, a new hearing must be conducted. See Delap v. State, 350 So.2d 462, 463 (Fla.1977). The state has conceded that a remand is appropriate for that purpose.

GUNTHER, WARNER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
