v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1989-11-15
No. 89-0256
HERSEY, C.J., and DOWNEY, J., concur.
551 So. 2d 613 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1989) Negative Treatment

Opinion of the Court
GUNTHER, Judge.

GUNTHER, Judge.

Ronald Sikora appeals his convictions and sentences for one count of grand theft and ten counts of uttering a forged instrument, claiming that double jeopardy bars convictions and sentences for both the grand theft and the uttering charges. The state concedes, pursuant to Monier v. State, 539 So. 2d 1195 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989), that the trial court erred in convicting and sentencing Sikora for both uttering a forged instrument and grand theft. Accordingly, Sikora’s conviction and sentence for grand theft are reversed and the case remanded for resentencing.

HERSEY, C.J., and DOWNEY, J., concur.

    …dant contends that in each instance she performed but a single act— presentation of the forged instrument to the bank teller — and that Carawan proscribes the imposition of dual penalties for a single act. Defendant relies on Sikora v. [*974] State, 551 So. 2d 613 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989), which so held. We take a different view. Cara-wan proscribes dual penalties for the same act, but where there are separate acts, then separate penalties can be imposed, even though the separate acts are part of the same crimina…
