Following a hearing, the trial court has determined that a prima facie case of purposeful discrimination was established as to the prosecutor's use of peremptory strikes in excluding all of the blacks on the *Page 2 venire from jury service. The appellant is therefore entitled to a new trial. Jurisdiction of this cause is remanded to the circuit court. This appeal is moot and is, therefore, dismissed.
OPINION EXTENDED; APPEAL DISMISSED.
All the Judges concur.
