OPINION
CRIPPEN, Judge.
This case involves a question certified by the trial court as doubtful and important, pursuant to Rule 28.03 of the Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure. The question posed is whether in a prosecution for three aggravated robberies, a defendant may introduce evidence of the commission of other robberies similar in method, time and place, allegedly committed by another individual of similar appearance to the defendant. We conclude that it is inappropriate for this court to answer the certified question and we remand to the trial court without an answer.
