ERIC MCKINNEY, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 2003-08-26
No. 1D02-2546
WOLF, C.J., BROWNING and HAWKES, JJ., Concur.
860 So. 2d 452 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2003) Caution
Cited by 10 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant appeals a jury verdict convicting him of sexual battery with a firearm, burglary of a dwelling with a person assaulted, and armed burglary of a dwelling. Because there was only one entry, the dual convictions and sentences on the two burglary charges cannot stand. See Docanto v. State, 811 So. 2d 790 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002); Hawkins v. State, 436 So. 2d 44 (Fla.1983). Appellant received concurrent life sentences on both burglary charges. Accordingly, reversal of one is required. We therefore remand with instructions for the trial court to vacate the conviction and sentence on one of the burglaries.

REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions.

He properly asserts that the trial court erred in not appointing conflict-free counsel for the hearing on the motion. See Bullard v. State, 860 So. 2d 452 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003). Accordingly, the order denying appellant’s motion to withdraw the plea is reversed, and the case is remanded for appointment of conflict-free counsel and for a new hearing on appellant’s motion.
