Enrique Lopez MENDEZ, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D12-278.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Dec. 19, 2012.
    Enrique Lopez Mendez, in proper person.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Timothy R.M. Thomas, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before SHEPHERD and EMAS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
   ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

SHEPHERD, J.

Enrique Lopez-Mendez appeals from the trial court’s denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800 motion. Based upon Appellee’s proper and commendable confession of error and our independent review of the record, we reverse with directions to the trial court to vacate that portion of Mendez’s sentence on Count I which mandates he serve a twenty-five year minimum mandatory under the 10/20 Life statute, see § 775.087(2)(a)3, Fla. Stat. (1999), and remand for imposition of a twenty-year minimum mandatory. See § 775.087(2)(a)2, Fla. Stat. (1999).

In all other respects, we affirm.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and case remanded with directions.
