BARKETT, Justice.
We have for review Henderson v. State, 572 So. 2d 972 (Fla. 3d DCA 1990), in which the district court certified conflict with Sikora v. State, 551 So. 2d 613 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989).1
The issue presented in this case is whether, pursuant to the principles enunciated in Carawan v. State, 515 So. 2d 161 (Fla.1987), a defendant may be convicted and sentenced for theft and uttering a forged instrument when both offenses arise from a single transaction and the defendant actually receives the property of another. The district court in Henderson did a thorough analysis of the issue and concluded that the convictions were properly imposed for separate acts under the facts in this case, consistent with Carawan. We approve the district court’s conclusion and adopt its rationale as our own.2 For the reasons expressed in Henderson, we disapprove Sikora.
It is so ordered.
SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDonald, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur. . We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution.
. We do not comment on any other issue discussed by the district court.

State v. Spioch, 706 So. 2d 32 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998)…this is not a constitutional speedy trial case. If Mrs. Spioeh is to rely on the rule, she must comply with it. Mrs. Spioeh did not pursue her speedy trial remedy under rule 3.191(i), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedures. See Beltran-Lopez v. State, 583 So. 2d 1030 (Fla.1991), vacated on other grounds, 505 U.S. 1215, 112 S.Ct. 3021, 120 L.Ed.2d 893 (1992). Even though the court, perhaps without adequate reason, continued her speedy trial period, it may well have reconsidered its decision if it had been confron…

Espinosa v. State, 589 So. 2d 887 (Fla. 1991)…s general claims as to the unconstitutionality of the death penalty. We also note that Espinosa incorporated any applicable claims made by Bel-tran-Lopez in his appeal and that we have considered and rejected those claims in Bel-tran-Lopez v. State, 583 So. 2d 1030 (Fla.1991). Therefore, we affirm Espinosa’s convictions and sentences.5 It is so ordered. SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD and GRIMES, JJ., concur.

Mauricio Beltran-Lopez v. State, 626 So. 2d 163 (Fla. 1993)…stice, dissenting. I dissent for the reasons stated in my original dissent and Chief Justice Barkett’s dissent prior to this remand, on grounds that Beltran-Lopez’ trial was improperly joined with that of his codefendant. Beltran-Lopez v. State, 583 So. 2d 1030, 1033 (Fla.1991) (Barkett, J., & Kogan, J., dissenting); see Espinosa v. State, 589 So. 2d 887, 894-95 (Fla.1991) (Barkett, J., & Kogan, J., dissenting).
