Derrick Gregory JAMES, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 95-2265.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Jan. 31, 1996.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Marti Rothenberg, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Doquyen T. Nguyen, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before NESBITT, COPE and GODERICH, JJ.
   CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

As the appellee properly acknowledges, the trial court erred by imposing a combined split sentence of seven years on the defendant for each count, where the statutory maximum sentence of a third degree felony is five years. See § 775.082(3)(d), Fla.Stat. (1993).

The defendant’s sentence is reversed and the cause remanded to the trial court for re-sentencing.
