Head Matter:
Robert Earl BARRINGTON, Sr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. AA-226.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Oct. 13, 1976.
Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and David J. Busch, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Michael M. Corin, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant seeks review of his conviction of the crime of sexual battery (F.S. 794.011(4)(a)) and his resulting sentence of life imprisonment. Oúr examination of the record reveals that the evidence was sufficient, if believed by the jury, (which apparently it was) to sustain the conviction. (See McKee v. State, Sup.Ct.Fla.1947, 159 Fla. 794, 33 So.2d 50; Truluck v. State, Sup.Ct. Fla.1959, 108 So.2d 748; Thomas v. State, Sup.Ct.Fla.1964, 167 So.2d 309 and Tibbs v. State, Sup.Ct.Fla.1976, 337 So.2d 788, opinion filed July 28, 1976. However, the state candidly agrees that the sentence imposed exceeds that permitted by law. (See F.S. 794.011(4)(e) and F.S. 775.082, Florida Statutes 1973). Accordingly, we affirm the conviction but reverse and remand for the purpose of the trial judge correcting the sentence. It shall not be necessary for appellant to be present at the time the sentence is corrected.
Affirmed in part and reversed in part.
BOYER, C. J., and RAWLS and McCORD, JJ., concur.
