Head Matter:
K.A.O., a Child, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 95-2963.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Nov. 15, 1996.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Andrea J. Surette, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Ann M. Childs, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appel-lee.

Opinion:
W. SHARP, Judge.
We affirm K.AO.'s conviction for possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia. However, we find the trial court erred in sentencing K.A.O. to a suspended commitment until his nineteenth birthday: a period of one year and one month. This term exceeded the statutory maximum sentence allowed by law for the offense of possession of drug paraphernalia, a first degree misdemeanor. The trial judge also improperly imposed the same sentence for both counts. Dorfman v. State, 351 So.2d 954 (Fla.1977).
We vaeate the sentence and remand for resentencing on each count within the statutory maximum term allowed for each offense.
Sentence VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing.
COBB and GOSHORN, JJ., concur.
