THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLANT, v. HECTOR LOPEZ, APPELLEE.

PER CURIAM.

Like State v. Konces, 521 So.2d 313 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988), in which, as here, the defendant drug seller was put together with the police by a confidential informant, neither of the two prongs of the objective entrapment test adopted in Cruz v. State, 465 So.2d 516 (Fla. 1985), cert. denied, 473 U.S. 905, 105 S.Ct. 3527, 87 L.Ed.2d 652 (1985), was established. See also Donaldson v. State, 519 So.2d 737 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988). Accordingly, the order below, which granted the defendant's sworn motion to dismiss on that ground, is reversed.

Konces was, of course, decided subsequent to the order presently under review.

We note that the Cruz objective test has been abolished by the Florida Legislature in section 777.201, Florida Statutes (1987), effective October 1, 1987. Since the offense alleged in this case occurred before that date, however, Cruz remains applicable.
