Head Matter:
Ronald GARMON, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 83-319.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
July 26, 1983.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Clinton J. Pitts, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Before HENDRY, DANIEL S. PEARSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Ronald Garmon was charged by indictment with first degree murder and attempted armed robbery. A jury found him guilty as charged. He was adjudicated guilty and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for twenty five years on the murder charge. He was sentenced to a consecutive fifteen year prison sentence, with a three year minimum mandatory provision, on the armed robbery count.
One of Garmon's points on appeal is whether the trial court erred in sentencing him for first degree murder and for attempted robbery. It is his contention that the evidence shows that his conviction had to be based on felony murder rather than premeditated murder, therefore the trial judge erred in imposing sentences for murder and attempted robbery. We cannot agree.
There are ample facts and circumstances in the record to support the conclusion that the defendant formed the intent to kill any person who interfered with his planned burglary. The evidence on this point is conclusive. Therefore the trial judge did not err in sentencing the defendant for first degree murder and for the attempted robbery. State v. Cantrell, 417 So.2d 260 (Fla.1982); Borges v. State, 415 So.2d 1265 (Fla.1982); Hill v. State, 133 So.2d 68, 72 (Fla.1961); Knight v. State, 374 So.2d 1065 (Fla. 3d DCA 1979), cert. denied, 386 So.2d 642 (Fla.1980); sec. 775.021(4), Fla.Stat. (1981).
We have considered appellant's other points and find them to be without merit. For the reasons stated, appellant's convictions and sentences are affirmed.
Affirmed.
