v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1989-12-08
No. 89-00731
LEHAN, A.C.J., and FRANK, J., concur.
553 So. 2d 373 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1989) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases
Opinion of the Court
PARKER, Judge.

PARKER, Judge.

Appellant entered a nolo contendere plea to burglary of a structure and petit theft and, as part of his sentencing, his driver’s license was suspended for thirty-six months. Appellant contends, and appellee concedes, that this case involves offenses for which the trial court is not authorized to suspend a driver’s license. Mandile v. State, 547 So. 2d 1062 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989).

Accordingly, the portion of appellant’s sentence suspending driving privileges is stricken. Otherwise, we affirm the appellant’s sentence.

LEHAN, A.C.J., and FRANK, J., concur.
