KENNETH SKEENS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1989-04-26
No. 87-813
CAMPBELL, C.J., and ALTENBERND, J., concur.
542 So. 2d 436 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1989) Caution
Cited by 14 cases


Opinion of the Court
LEHAN, Judge.

LEHAN, Judge.

Defendant appeals from his sentence of two years community control to be followed by ten years probation.

We disagree with defendant’s first contention that community control cannot be imposed in tandem with probation. See Burrell v. State, 483 So. 2d 479 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). We are in that respect in conflict with Williams v. State, 464 So. 2d 1218 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984); Mitchell v. State, 463 So. 2d 416 (Fla. 1st DCA), cause dismissed, 469 So. 2d 750 (1985); Chessler v. State, 467 So. 2d 1102 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).

We disagree with defendant’s second contention that the imposition of separate sentences for convictions for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and carrying a concealed firearm, which arose from a single act, violated his right to not be placed in double jeopardy. See Johnson v. State, 535 So. 2d 651 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988).

Affirmed.

CAMPBELL, C.J., and ALTENBERND, J., concur.

    …PER CURIAM. The appellant, James 0. McNabb, raises two issues. His first issue is without merit as this court has previously held that probation can be imposed consecutively to community control. Skeens v. State, 542 So. 2d 436 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989). For his second issue, the defendant contends, and the state agrees, that the trial court erred by imposing court costs without adequate notice or an opportunity to object as required by Wood v.
