ARTHUR HALL A/K/A ARTHUR HICKS, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2000-03-08
No. 3D99-2960
Before COPE, SHEVIN and SORONDO, JJ.
752 So. 2d 1245 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2000) Positive Treatment
Cited by 7 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order denying defendant’s motion to correct illegal sentence. After return of the jury’s verdict, the court recognized that double jeopardy prohibited conviction for both unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense and robbery with a firearm. However, the written judgment reflects adjudications of guilt on both counts. As the state properly concedes, the conviction and sentence for unlawful possession of a firearm must be vacated.

Accordingly, we reverse the order and remand for correction of the judgment and sentence.
