Willie Eugene FEIMSTER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 97-187.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    July 23, 1997.
    John T. Balikes, Miami, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Keith S. Kromash, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before COPE, GREEN and SORONDO, JJ.
   CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

Upon the State’s proper confession of error, we reverse the appellant’s twenty-seven year sentence for attempted second degree murder as being illegal in that it exceeds the statutory maximum sentence for this offense. Attempted second degree murder is a second degree felony for which the maximum sentence is fifteen years. See § 777.04(4)(c), § 782.04(2), Fla. Stat. (1991); § 775.082(3)(c), Fla. Stat. (1991). We therefore remand this cause for resentencing.

Reversed and remanded.
