Head Matter:
Jesse McNEAL, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 77-568.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Sept. 23, 1977.
Jack 0. Johnson, Public Defender, Bar-tow, Douglas A. Wallace, Asst. Public Defender, Bradenton, for appellant.
Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Charles Corees, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The only point which merits discussion is the propriety of appellant's sentence to confinement "at hard labor." To be imprisoned "at hard labor" is improper because no existing state statute provides for imprisonment at hard labor as a sentence for any offense. McDonald v. State, 321 So.2d 453 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975).
Remanded for the purpose of striking the language "at hard labor" from the sentenc ing order; otherwise affirmed. Appellant need not be present for this purpose.
McNULTY, Acting C. J., and GRIMES and OTT, JJ., concur.
