PER CURIAM.
Appellant raises two points on appeal. He first contends that the written judgment entered upon his conviction on count II for possession of a controlled substance should be corrected to reflect that he was adjudicated guilty of violating section 893.-13(l)(f), Florida Statutes (1985) — a misdemeanor of the first degree — and not section 893.13(l)(e) — a third-degree felony — as it appears on the written judgment. We agree. We decline, however, to discuss appellant’s other point since we find it has no merit.
We, therefore, remand this cause for correction of the written judgment to reflect the appropriate statutory section corresponding to appellant's conviction on count II. In all other respects, the judgment and sentences are affirmed.
RYDER, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and PARKER, JJ., concur.

Ayala v. State, 585 So. 2d 483 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991)…As a general rule, once a defendant has begun to serve his sentence, a trial court may not resentence him to an increased term. See Goene v. State, 577 So. 2d 1306 (Fla.1991); Williams v. State, 553 So. 2d 729 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989); Westover v. State, 521 So. 2d 344 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988). In Goene, the Florida Supreme Court, citing United States v. Jones, 722 F. 2d 632 (11th Cir.1983), recognized that the prohibition against double jeopardy respects a defendant’s legitimate expectation that a sentence, once impos…
