Miguel E. RIVERA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D02-905.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 23, 2003.
    Miguel E. Rivera, in proper person.
    Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, and Michael J. Neimand, Assistant Attorney General and Bureau Chief, for appel-lee.
    
      Before COPE, FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order denying defendant’s motion to correct illegal sentence to the extent that it denies re-sentencing on the third-degree felony convictions. As the state properly concedes, the sentences imposed on those convictions impermissi-bly exceed the maximum sentence of ten years. § 775.084(4)(a), Fla. Stat. (1999). Accordingly, on remand, the court shall re-sentence defendant to ten years on the third degree felony convictions in case nos. 99-35063 and 99-35077. Defendant need not be present for re-sentencing.

Affirmed in part; reversed in part, and remanded.
