ON REMAND FROM FLORIDA SUPREME COURT

PER CURIAM.

The Florida Supreme Court quashed our decision affirming in part and reversing in part Ridge Gabriel's sentence. State v. Gabriel , 314 So.3d 1243 (Fla. Apr. 8, 2021), quashing Gabriel v. State , ––– So.3d ––––, 44 Fla. L. Weekly D2913, 2019 WL 6621255 (Fla. 5th DCA Dec. 6, 2019). Answering our certified question, the Florida Supreme Court held that "under section 921.0024(2), [Florida Statutes (2012),] the [lowest-permissible sentence] is an individual minimum sentence where there are multiple convictions subject to sentencing on a single scoresheet." Id . at 1246. Accordingly, we withdraw our decision reversing Gabriel's sentence in part, and affirm in full the trial court's ruling.

AFFIRMED.

EVANDER, C.J., HARRIS and TRAVER,¹ JJ., concur.

1 Judge Traver has been substituted for Judge Jacobus, who was on the original panel.
