Anthony VALENTINO, a/k/a Michael Seneca, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D99-968.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Aug. 1, 2001.
    Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Joseph R. Chloupek, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Jeanine M. Germa-nowicz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

PER CURIAM.

This case is here on remand from the Florida Supreme Court. Appellant was sentenced to concurrent life sentences as an habitual felony offender and a prison releasee reoffender. The trial court was without authority to sentence appellant to an equal sentence under the habitual felony offender statute, “even where such sentence is imposed concurrently with the PRR sentence.” Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655, 659 (Fla.2000). Accordingly, we remand for resentencing under only the prison releasee reoffender act.

POLEN, C.J., DELL and GROSS, JJ., concur.
