Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM. Kevin Terrell Thomas appeals the circuit court’s convictions and sentences for first degree murder and felon in possession of a firearm. He raises multiple issues on appeal, and we affirm all but one without discussion. Thomas argues the State did not file its notice of intent to seek enhanced penalties within a sufficient time before sentencing. The State agrees and concedes that Thomas is entitled to resentencing on the felon-in-possession count. We accept the State’s concession and reverse and remand for resentencing on the felon-in-possession count. On remand, the State is entitled to seek a habitual felony offender sentence.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

MAY, GERBER and KUNTZ, JJ., concur. * * * Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.
