Lafayette BIGLOW, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 95-2647.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Nov. 13, 1996.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Bruce A. Rosenthal, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Fleur J. Lobree, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before GERSTEN, GREEN, and FLETCHER, JJ.
   CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

The defendant, Lafayette Biglow, appeals an order denying his motion for judgment of acquittal. We reverse based upon the State’s proper confession of error.

Where a defendant is charged with unlawful display of a firearm during the commission of a felony and found not guilty by reason of insanity of the underlying felony, a conviction for display of the firearm cannot stand and an acquittal must be entered. See State v. Powell, 674 So.2d 781 (Fla.1996); Redondo v. State, 408 So.2d 954 (Fla.1981); Ayrado v. State, 431 So.2d 320 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983).

Reversed.
