Head Matter:
Thomas BAKER, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 80-180.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
May 12, 1983.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Mary Sue Donsky, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Gregory C. Smith, Asst. Atty. Gen., Dayto-na Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
DAUKSCH, Judge.
Appellant appeals from his sentence after a guilty plea to three offenses. At sentencing, the court provided a mandatory minimum of three years to be served consecutively on Count I and Count II. Appellant and another robbed a person and appellant was charged with: Count I, Aggravated Assault because he pointed a shotgun at the victim; Count II, Armed Robbery because he and his co-perpetrator took the victim's money; Count III, Attempted Murder because his co-perpetrator shot someone else during the robbery.
We agree with the defendant that only one mandatory three-year minimum provision can be applied to him (for the more serious offense) on the facts here. The aggravated assault charged in Count I was a necessarily lesser included offense of the armed robbery charged in Count II. Thus, under State v. Monroe, 406 So.2d 1115 (Fla. 1981) any separate sentence for Count I is improper. See also State v. Gibson, No. 61,325 (Fla. February 17,1983).
The judgments and the sentence for Count II are affirmed and the sentence for Count I is hereby reversed.
AFFIRMED in part and REVERSED in part.
