Sams v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Nov 23, 1983
441 So. 2d 180 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1983)

Opinion

No. AP-443.

November 23, 1983.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Leon County, Charles E. Miner, Jr., J.

Michael Allen, Public Defender, P. Douglas Brinkmeyer, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Richard A. Patterson, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


Sams appeals from a conviction on two counts of armed robbery and sentences of thirty years with three year minimum mandatory provisions on each count, such sentences to run consecutively, contending only that the trial court erred in imposing two consecutive minimum mandatory sentences. We agree. See Palmer v. State, 438 So.2d 1, 8 FLW 324 (Fla. 1983) (rehearing denied, October 19, 1983).

Accordingly, we REVERSE only that portion of Sams' sentences providing for consecutive three year minimum mandatory sentences and REMAND with directions to correct those sentences so that the two minimum mandatory sentences shall be served concurrently.

ERVIN, C.J., JOANOS, J., and PEARSON, TILLMAN, Associate Judge (Retired), concur.
