Opinion:
CONFESSION OF ERROR
PER CURIAM.
As the appellee properly acknowledges, the trial court erred by imposing a combined split sentence of seven years on the defendant for each count, where the statutory maximum sentence of a third degree felony is five years. See § 775.082(3)(d), Fla.Stat. (1993).
The defendant's sentence is reversed and the cause remanded to the trial court for re-sentencing.
