David Wayne TALBERT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. JJ-149.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Sept. 15, 1978.
    
      Michael J. Minerva, Public Defender, and Sidney L. Matthews, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Richard W. Prospect, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find the appellant has failed to demonstrate reversible error; however, the provision in appellant’s sentence that he be imprisoned “at hard labor” is improper. Ussery v. State, 350 So.2d 839 (Fla. 1st D.C.A. 1977); McDonald v. State, 321 So.2d 453 (Fla. 4th D.C.A. 1975). Accordingly, this ease is REMANDED for the purpose of striking the language “at hard labor” from the sentencing order; it is otherwise affirmed. Appellant need not be present for this purpose.

SMITH, Acting C. J., and MELVIN and BOOTH, JJ., concur.
