PER CURIAM.

¶1The appellant challenges the action of the trial court in resentencing him on November 14, 2001. We agree with the appellant that such resentencing is precluded by the constitutional protections against double jeopardy. Spear v. State, 632 So.2d 201 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994) (“The appellant had begun serving the lawful sentence which the court originally imposed, and resentencing is not permitted merely because of a misapprehension as to the court’s sentencing prerogatives”).

¶2We reverse the sentence imposed on November 14, 2001, and remand with instructions to the trial court to reinstate the original sentence imposed on November 5, 2001.

BARFIELD, WEBSTER and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
