FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                         No. 1D13-4464
                 _____________________________

TYLER SHERMAN,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Leon County.
James C. Hankinson, Judge.

                          May 16, 2019

           ON REMAND FROM FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

PER CURIAM.

     We twice earlier affirmed Appellant’s separate convictions for
solicitation (in violation of section 847.0135(3)(a), Florida
Statutes), and traveling to meet a minor after solicitation (in
violation of section 847.0135(4)(a)). See Sherman v. State, 160 So.
3d 494 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015); Sherman v. State, 247 So. 3d 663 (Fla.
1st DCA 2015). The Florida Supreme Court has now quashed our
more recent decision, remanding for reconsideration in light of Lee
v. State, 258 So. 3d 1297 (Fla. 2018). See Sherman v. State, No.
SC18-949 (Fla. Apr. 16, 2019). In Lee, the court held that “to
determine whether multiple convictions of solicitation of a minor,
unlawful use of a two-way communications device, and traveling
after solicitation of a minor are based upon the same conduct for
purposes of double jeopardy, the reviewing court should consider
only the charging document.” 258 So. 3d at 1299. Applying that
rule here, we must reverse the lesser conviction. On remand, the
trial court should resentence for the remaining conviction. We
otherwise affirm.

    REVERSED in part; AFFIRMED in part.

WOLF and WINSOR, JJ., concur; MAKAR, J., concurs in result only.
