Sands v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 13, 1996 · Cope, Levy, Shevin
682 So. 2d 702; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 11955; 1996 WL 661772 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sands v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying defendant’s motion for post-conviction relief. We remand, however, so that the court may vacate defendant’s firearm conviction. The record reveals that the trial court failed to follow this court’s mandate in Sands v. State, 547 So.2d 293, 293 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), *703wherein we “vaeate[d] the defendant’s conviction of unlawful possession of a firearm while engaged in a criminal offense.”

Affirmed; remanded with directions.
