Worthy v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 13, 1982 · Barkdull, Ferguson, Pearson
412 So. 2d 412; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 28617 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Worthy v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellant attacks several sentences. He received seventeen years upon a conviction for attempted burglary and a ten-year sentence for a conviction of aggravated assault to run concurrently with the seventeen-year sentence. We find his attacks on these sentences to be without merit. Mathis v. State, 348 So.2d 1221 (Fla. 3d DCA 1977); Foxworth v. State, 267 So.2d 647 (Fla. 1972).

He also received an enhanced sentence of two years upon a conviction of carrying a concealed weapon, as an habitual misde-meanant, pursuant to the provisions of Section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1979). The record does not show that he was convicted previously of carrying a concealed weapon and, therefore, there should not have been an enhanced sentence. King v. State, 398 So.2d 469 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981); Hysmith v. State, 374 So.2d 1103 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979).

The sentences for attempted burglary and aggravated assault are affirmed. We strike one year from the two-year sentence for carrying a concealed weapon and leave the defendant to serve a one year sentence on this conviction.

Affirmed as modified.
