Manning v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s conviction for manslaughter is affirmed. However, the provision in her sentence that she be imprisoned “at hard labor” is not authorized by law, and being merely surplusage, this provision is hereby stricken. Massey v. State, 351 So.2d 376 (Fla. 1st DCA 1977). As amended, the sentence is affirmed.

McCORD, C. J., and ERVIN and MELVIN, JJ., concur.
