OPINION OF THE COURT
THIS CAUSE came to be heard on November 17, 1989 pursuant to a hearing on Defendant’s Second Motion to Dismiss and Discharge (filed pursuant to Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.191(i). This Court, based upon a hearing that occurred on the September 5, 1989 trial date scheduled pursuant to Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.191, argument of counsel, and further research, finds as follows:
The defendant was not prepared to proceed to trial due to the fact
The State, relies on State v Livingston, 475 So.2d 1328 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985) and Neuman v State, 431 So.2d 168 (Fla. 5th DCA 1983). The reliance is misplaced. Livingston’s counsel stated that he had no objection to a trial date outside the 90 day speedy trial time. Neuman without objection if not with his tacit approval also agreed to a trial date outside the 180 day speedy trial time.
The defendant herein did not passively or actively stipulate to or acquiesce in a trial date past the 105 day period. There was no tacit approval. It is in fact clear that the defense sought a speedy trial within the 90 day period with the discovery requested, i.e., it was clear based on the defendant’s filing of his first Motion to Dismiss and Discharge in conjunction with what occurred at the September 5, 1989 proceeding that he was intending not to waive or extend the speedy trial period. See Walker v State, 492 So.2d 772 (Fla. 1st DCA 1986).
The silence of a defendant or his counsel at a proceeding where a trial date is set beyond a speedy trial period is not a waiver or an agreement to the extended period. See Mellman v Rudd, 389 So.2d 706 (Fla. 1st DCA 1980); State v Ansley, 349 So.2d 837 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977); Harris v Tyson, 267 So.2d 390 (Fla. 4th DCA 1972); and State Ex Rel. Flowers v Goodman, 241 So.2d 457 (Fla. 3d DCA 1970). A court may continue a case at the state’s (request) or expense beyond speedy trial limits even if such continuance effectively results in a discharge due to a state discovery violation. See Grenade v Ader, 530 So.2d 1050 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988); Lobik v State, 506 So.2d 1077 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987) and State v Ex Rel Boren v Sepe, 156 So.2d 259 (Fla. 3d DCA 1972). Such is what occurred herein.
ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Defendant’s Second Motion to Dismiss and Discharge is granted.
DONE and ORDERED in Chambers at Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida this 11th day of December, 1989.
