Head Matter:
Vernon HIPPOLYTE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 4D00-708.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 28, 2001.
Rehearing Denied May 4, 2001.
Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We accept the state's concession that it was error to enter equal concurrent sentences under both the Prison Releasee Reoffender Punishment Act and the habitual felony offender statutes. See Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla.2000). We therefore strike the habitual offender designa tion. See Green v. State, 782 So.2d 416 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001).
Conviction affirmed; prison releasee reoffender sentence affirmed; habitual offender designation stricken.
WARNER, C.J., DELL and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
