Opinion

No. 81-344.

February 10, 1982.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Volusia County, Uriel Blount, Jr., J.

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Christopher S. Quarles, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and C. Michael Barnette, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.

FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., Judge.

Appellant was convicted of uttering a false or forged instrument. He was sentenced to five years on the condition that the sentence "be served consecutively with any other sentence imposed by any other court." Construing this language as referring only to a sentence already imposed at the time the court entered its judgment, we AFFIRM. See Teffeteller v. State, 396 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH, C.J., and COWART, J., concur.
