Opinion

No. 96-1589

February 5, 1997.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Monroe County; Ruth Becker, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Howard K. Blumberg, Assistant Public Defender, for Appellee.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Erin E. Dardis, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GERSTEN and GREEN, JJ.


CONFESSION OF ERROR


Upon the State's proper confession of error that the trial court's judgment erroneously reflects that appellant entered a guilty plea to possession of cocaine with intent to sell where the record unequivocally establishes that the appellant pled only to the lesser included offense of simple possession, we reverse the judgment and remand with instructions that the court enter a judgment of conviction for possession of cocaine.

Reversed and remanded.
