Opinion filed May 5, 1999 JANUARY TERM 1999

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, St. Lucie County; Marc A. Cianca, Judge; L.T. No. 97-2820 CF.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Ettie Feistmann, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See York v. State, No. 98-1610 (Fla. 4th DCA Apr. 21, 1999). As in York, we affirm the conviction and sentence without prejudice to appellant's raising the issue of consent to the attorney's admission of guilt as an issue in post-conviction proceedings where a full exploration of the trial attorney's tactical decision and his communication with his client can be considered.

AFFIRMED.
