Head Matter:
Chris ROBINSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. X-452.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Sept. 23, 1975.
On Rehearing Dec. 2, 1975.
Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and David J. Busch, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
• Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Richard W. Prospect, Asst. Atty. Gen., for ap-pellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant was convicted on all counts of a three count information. Count I charged robbery; Count II charged use of a firearm during the commission of a felony; and Count III charged aggravated assault. Appellant contends and the evidence shows that all three charges were part of the same transaction or crime involving the robbery of Kathleen Copeland; and, thus, the sentences for the lesser of the three offenses cannot stand. The State agrees. See Cone v. State, Fla., 285 So.2d 12 (1973).
Appellant also contends that the trial court erred in denying his motion to dismiss Count II in that it charged use of a firearm during the commission of a felony without alleging the felony that appellant was allegedly perpetrating; that each count of an information must be complete within itself. Appellant moved initially to dismiss Count II (mistakenly referred to as Count III, though the body of the motion makes it clear that he was referring to Count II). If this were a single count information charging use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, there would be merit to appellant's contention but as part of the three count information, it is clear that the felony was the robbery charged in Count I or the lesser included offense of the robbery which was charged separately in Count III. If appellant had any doubt of this, he could have requested a statement of particulars, which he did not do.
The cause is remanded with directions that the sentences below to 15 years imprisonment for use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and five years imprisonment for aggravated assault be vacated.
RAWLS, Acting C. J., and McCORD and SMITH, JJ., concur.
