Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

On June 20, 2001, we affirmed appellant’s convictions on the authority of Hall v. State, 767 So. 2d 560 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000). On July 10, 2001, we stayed issuance of the mandate pending the supreme court’s review of Hall.

Based on Hall v. State, 826 So. 2d 268 (Fla.2002), we reverse appellant’s convictions for grand theft and dealing in stolen property. A trial judge is prohibited “from adjudicating a defendant guilty of both theft and dealing in stolen property in connection with one scheme or course of conduct pursuant to a plea of nolo conten-dere.” Id. at 271.

Appellant’s motion for rehearing is granted and the case is remanded to the circuit court for resentencing.

POLEN, C.J., STONE and GROSS, JJ„ concur.

    …with one scheme or course of conduct. That Toson’s convictions and sentences were the result of an open plea of guilt to the charges against him does not alter the result. See Hall v. State, 826 So. 2d 268, 271 (Fla.2002); see also Eugene v. State, 828 So. 2d 1055 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). Although in Hall the plea was nolo contendere, the holding in Hall is equally applicable to an open guilty plea, as it is accepted by the trial court in the same manner as a nolo contendere plea.
