PER CURIAM.

¶1A jury found appellant Michael B. Conk-lin guilty of dealing cocaine, a class B felony, and the trial court sentenced him accordingly. A divided Court of Appeals held that the admitting certain evidence about Conklin's prior dealing in cocaine was error and reversed. Conklin v. State (1992), Ind.App., 587 N.E.2d 725, We grant transfer and summarily affirm their holding on that issue. Ind. Appellate Rule 11(B)(3).

¶2Having held that the trial court committed reversible error, the Court of Appeals remanded with instructions to enter a conviction on the lesser included offense of possession of cocaine. Such a mandate does not give either party its due. Appellant alleged trial error; having prevailed, he is entitled to be tried anew. Similarly, the penal interests of the State entitle the prosecution to pursue its allegation that the Conklin committed the crime of dealing in cocaine.

¶3We remand the cause for a new trial on the charge of dealing.

SHEPARD, C.J., and DeBRULER, DICKSON, and KRAHULIK, JJ., concur.GIVAN, J., would grant transfer and affirm the trial court.
