Cleveland ARNOLD, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 81-1770.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    Nov. 3, 1982.
    Cleveland Arnold, Polk City, pro se, appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joy B. Shearer, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant’s conviction for manslaughter is affirmed, but the sentence which included a mandatory three year minimum is vacated. See Akins v. State, 366 So.2d 1262 (Fla. 4th DCA 1979); Jones v. State, 356 So.2d 4 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977). Accordingly, the cause is remanded for resentencing. Appellant, however, need not be present at the resentencing.

Affirmed, but remanded for resentenc-ing.

HURLEY and DELL, JJ., and GEIGER, DWIGHT L., Associate Judge, concur.
