MASOUD MAZAHERITEHRANI, APPELLANT, v. DORIS ELIZABETH BROOKS, AS MOTHER, NATURAL GUARDIAN AND NEXT FRIEND OF SHARHONDA T. MOORE, A MINOR CHILD, AND DORIS ELIZABETH BROOKS, INDIVIDUALLY, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

During the course of jury selection appellant sought to exercise peremptory challenges to exclude three black jurors. Finding that the attempted excusals were racially motivated, the trial court disallowed the challenges. We reverse. The proper remedy under State v. Neil, 457 So.2d 481 (Fla. 1984), was to dismiss the jury pool and "start voir dire over with a new pool." Id. at 487. See also Carter v. State, 550 So.2d 1130 (Fla. 3d DCA), rev. denied, 553 So.2d 1164 (1989).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HERSEY, C.J., DELL and GUNTHER, JJ., concur.
