Opinion
Case No. 97-561
Opinion filed October 8, 1997.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Steven D. Robinson, Judge.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Howard K. Blumberg, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Roberta G. Mandel, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before NESBITT, COPE and GODERICH, JJ.
On Confession of Error
M.T., a juvenile, appeals his conviction for two counts of battery in connection with an incident in which he pushed the victim, struck him and then swung an object at him, all in rapid succession.
The State has correctly conceded error in the imposition of two convictions under those circumstances. See Laines v. State, 662 So.2d 1248, 1249 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), receded from on other grounds, Grene v. State, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D2065 (Fla. 3d DCA Sept. 3, 1997).
In light of the confession of error, we reverse and remand for vacation of one of the battery convictions.
Reversed and remanded.
