ON CONCESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

Austin Hall appeals the sentence imposed following his conviction of burglary of a dwelling with an assault or battery with a firearm (count 1). The jury found Hall guilty and made a special finding that Hall actually possessed a firearm. Hall was sentenced to thirty-five years in prison with a twenty-five-year minimum mandatory. He contends, and the State concedes, that the twenty-five-year minimum mandatory is improper. Instead, pursuant to section 775.087(2)(a)1., Florida Statutes (2017), Hall should have received a ten-year minimum mandatory. We accept the State's concession.

Hall does not appeal his convictions or sentences for robbery with a firearm (count 2), or aggravated battery with a firearm or causing great bodily harm (count 3).
--------

We affirm Hall's convictions, but remand this matter to the trial court with directions that the sentencing documents be amended to reflect the thirty-five-year sentence with a ten-year minimum mandatory on count 1. Hall need not be present for resentencing.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.

ORFINGER, LAMBERT and SASSO, JJ., concur.
