Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed September 28, 2016. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D15-829 Lower Tribunal No. 11-24568A ________________ William Knight, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Ariana Fajardo Orshan and Veronica A. Diaz, Judges. Carlos J. Martinez, Public Defender, and Harvey J. Sepler, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Jay E. Silver, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before WELLS, SHEPHERD and SALTER, JJ. PER CURIAM. William Knight appeals his convictions and sentences on multiple counts of fraudulent use or possession of personal identification information and one count of unlawful possession of stolen credit/debit cards (Count 22). We remand for the trial court to vacate the conviction and sentence on Count 22, and affirm in all other respects. The offense charged in Count 22 was not a crime on the date the offense was committed. Based on the state’s proper confession of error, we vacate that conviction and sentence. This makes it unnecessary to address the defendant’s double jeopardy argument. Affirmed and remanded. 2
