318 So. 2d 163

Thomas v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided September 5, 1975

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1975-09-05

Decided 1975-09-05

PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant was convicted of three violations of the Florida Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act and was given concurrent four-year sentences for each conviction. These judgments are affirmed.

¶2However, the crime prosecuted in case no. 74-4596 (appeal case no. 74-1543) was a misdemeanor, rather than a felony. It was properly triable in circuit court under Fla.Stat., § 26.012(2) (d) (1973), but the sentence could not exceed the one year maximum for a misdemeanor. Therefore, the sentence in that case is hereby reduced to a term of one year, and the court below is requested to correct its records accordingly.

HOBSON, Acting C. J., and GRIMES and SCHEB, JJ., concur.
