                 ON CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

       Appellant Kenya Jarod Franklin appeals his final judgment
and sentence. In his only issue on appeal, Franklin argues that the
trial court committed fundamental error when it failed to renew
the offer of assistance of counsel before sentencing him. Based
upon the State’s confession of error and our review of the record,
we agree. Franklin’s judgment is affirmed, but the sentence is
vacated. The case is remanded for a new sentencing hearing with
an offer of counsel consistent with Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.111(d)(5). See Hays v. State, 63 So. 3d 887 (Fla. 5th
DCA 2011).

     JUDGMENT AFFIRMED, SENTENCE VACATED, and REMANDED
for resentencing.

HARRIS, SOUD, and PRATT, JJ., concur.

                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
