Head Matter:
Ernest TUCKER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 90-02731.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
July 26, 1991.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Robert D. Rosen, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Richard Fechter, Asst. Atty. Gen., Miami, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We affirm the appellant's convictions but reverse the appellant's habitual offender sentences and remand for resentencing. In order to be sentenced as a habitual offender under section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1988 Supp.), a defendant must have successive felony convictions. The appellant's two prior convictions were rendered on the same date, and so they should have been treated as a single offense. Walker v. State, 567 So.2d 546 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990).
Reversed and remanded for resentenc-ing.
DANAHY, A.C.J., and FRANK and HALL, JJ., concur.
