Opinion

No. 87-2599.

February 14, 1989.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Steven D. Robinson, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Howard K. Blumberg, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and Joan L. Greenberg, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARKDULL and HUBBART, JJ.


As the state concedes, it was improper for the trial court to impose separate adjudications for possession and sale of the same cocaine. Blanca v. State, 532 So.2d 1327 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988). Accordingly, the conviction for possession is vacated and set aside. The sale conviction is affirmed.
