No. 80-1934.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, a juvenile, was charged with three counts of attempted first degree murder, two counts of robbery, one count each of kidnapping, aggravated battery, sexual battery and trespass with a firearm. After accepting appellant's plea of nolo conten-dere, the trial judge adjudged him guilty of the offenses charged and sentenced appellant to seven concurrent life sentences for each of the attempted murders, the robberies, the kidnapping and the sexual battery. He also sentenced appellant to fifteen years for the aggravated battery and five years for the trespass with a firearm, both concurrent with the life sentences and each other.
Appellant contends that the trial court committed error in not sentencing him pursuant to section 39.111(6)(c), Florida Statutes (1979). He also contends that his sentence is excessive. We agree.
Failure to comply with the safeguards of section 39.111(6) is harmful error. Eady v. State, 388 So.2d 9 (Fla.2d DCA 1980). Appellant was not sentenced in conformance with that statute and, therefore, his sentences are invalid.
Also, appellant's sentences for attempted first degree murder are excessive. The maximum sentence for attempted first degree murder is thirty years. § 777.04(4)(a), Fla.Stat. (1979). His three life sentences for attempted first degree murder were improper.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed, but the sentences are reversed and remanded with instructions to resentence appellant pursuant to section 39.111(6) and within the proper maximum sentences.
SCHEB, C. J., and HOBSON and CAMPBELL, JJ., concur.
