¶1 ORDER

¶2 DEFENDANT’S petition for further review is allowed for the purpose of entering the following order:

¶3 The opinion of the Court of Appeals is correct insofar as it determines that defendant was actually denied his Sixth Amendment right to counsel for the presentation of his evidence and closing arguments at his trial. On the authority of State v. Colbert, 311 N.C. 283, 316 S.E. 2d 79 (1984), we conclude the Court of Appeals erred in concluding that such denial did not result in reversible error. Cf. Strickland v. Washington, — U.S. —, 35 Crim. L. Rep. 3066 (14 May 1984); United States v. Cronic, — U.S. —, 35 Crim. L. Rep. 3061 (14 May 1984). The decision of the Court of Appeals concluding that there was no error in defendant’s trial is, therefore, reversed, and it is

¶4*302 ORDERED that defendant be given a new trial.

¶5 By order of the Court in Conference this 5th day of June 1984.
