   PER CURIAM.

Reversed and remanded for resentenc-ing. See State v. Thompson, 4 So.3d 689, 690 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (“We agree with the State’s argument that imposition of the 20-year minimum mandatory sentence is required by law. Whether imposition of the 20-year mandatory term would be a ‘crime in itself,’ as stated by the trial court, is a matter directed to the legislature.” (footnote omitted)).

BENTON, C.J., DAVIS, and THOMAS, JJ., concur.
