Lawrence W. OSTEEN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 75-1837.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    Sept. 17, 1976.

    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Davis G. Anderson, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The judgment of guilt is affirmed. The maximum sentence for the crime of second degree murder is life imprisonment. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment plus ninety-nine years. Therefore, the case is remanded with directions for the sentence to be reduced to life imprisonment, without the necessity of appellant being present when the sentence is reduced.
