CLYDE STOKES, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1989-09-20
No. 88-1217
SMITH, THOMPSON and MINER, JJ., concur.
549 So. 2d 715 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1989) Caution
Cited by 18 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Stokes appeals a judgment and sentence for possession of a controlled substance, cocaine, with intent to sell and sale of the same controlled substance, both in violation of section 893.13(l)(a), Florida Statutes. We agree with his assertion that multiple punishments for the two crimes violate double jeopardy principles. Therefore, on the authority of Wheeler v. State, 549 So. 2d 687 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989), we reverse and remand to the trial court with instructions to vacate one of Stokes’ convictions and to recalculate his sentence on the remaining conviction.

SMITH, THOMPSON and MINER, JJ., concur.
