Head Matter:
Daniel Sean MICHAEL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 97-03246
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Feb. 3, 1999.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and A. Victoria Wiggins, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Dale E. Tarpley, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Opinion:
NORTHCUTT, Judge.
Daniel Sean Michael challenges his sentence for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, contending that it was error for the trial court to assess eighteen additional sentencing points for possessing a firearm where the sole underlying crime is possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. We agree and reverse and remand for resentenc-ing.
The Florida Supreme Court in White v. State, 714 So.2d 440 (Fla. 1998), held that it is error for a trial court to assess additional sentencing points for possessing a firearm where the sole underlying crime is carrying a concealed firearm or possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. The State concedes error. See Patterson v. State, 724 So.2d 640 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999).
Reversed and remanded for resentencing.
FULMER, A.C.J., and CASANUEVA, J., Concur.
