Head Matter:
Joe A. WALLACE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 91-3290.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
Nov. 18, 1992.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 7, 1993.
Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tanja Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Joe Anthony Wallace appeals his convictions and sentences on several felony charges. We affirm appellant's convictions and sentences with the exception that the sentence for Count I, burglary, is vacated and remanded for resentencing.
Wallace's previous burglary conviction was overturned and remanded for a new trial. Wallace v. State, 575 So.2d 670 (Fla. 4th DCA1991). At the conclusion of his prior trial, Wallace was sentenced to fifteen years in prison. Upon retrial, a sentence of thirty years was imposed. This increase was not justified by an explanation by the trial judge or an intervening event. The increased sentence was therefore improper. Blackshear v. State, 531 So.2d 956 (Fla.1988). But see, Alabama v. Smith, 490 U.S. 794, 109 S.Ct. 2201, 104 L.Ed.2d 865 (1989).
DELL, J., and WALDEN, JAMES H., Senior Judge, concur.
ANSTEAD, J., concurs specially.
