IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED RODERICK RENARD BLACKSHEAR, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D14-1298 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed August 7, 2015 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Greg A. Tynan, Judge. Terrence E. Kehoe, of Law Office of Terrence E. Kehoe, Orlando, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kristen L. Davenport, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Roderick Blackshear appeals his convictions for burglary of a dwelling with an assault (with a firearm), criminal mischief, aggravated assault with a firearm, and armed trespass in an occupied structure. He raises a number of issues; two have merit. The State requested that the trial court vacate Blackshear’s aggravated assault conviction on double jeopardy principles. While the trial court orally granted the request, it did not enter an amended judgment. The State concedes error. Likewise, we agree with Blackshear that double jeopardy precludes conviction for both armed burglary of a dwelling with an assault therein and armed trespass in an occupied structure. Therefore, we remand to the court to vacate one of the convictions. AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, and REMANDED. LAWSON, C.J., SAWAYA and COHEN, JJ., concur. 2
