ADOYE v. STATE (2017)

Femi ADOYE, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

CASE NO. 1D16–3432

Decided: August 21, 2017

Candice K. Brower, Regional Conflict Counsel, and Michael Jerome Titus, Assistant Regional Conflict Counsel, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General; Trisha Meggs Pate, Samuel Steinberg, and Jason W. Rodriguez, Assistant Attorneys General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

The appellant, Femi Adoye, appeals his dual convictions for grand theft, a third-degree felony under section 812.014(2)(d), Florida Statutes (2015), and dealing in stolen property, a second-degree felony under section 812.019(1), Florida Statutes (2015). The appellant argues his dual convictions violate double jeopardy because both offenses were committed during a single, ongoing scheme. See § 812.025, Fla. Stat. (2015). The State concedes this error. We reverse and remand to vacate the lesser grand theft conviction. See Blackmon v. State, 121 So.3d 535, 548 (Fla. 2013); Jackson v. State, 197 So.3d 649 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

PER CURIAM.

ROBERTS, OSTERHAUS and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., CONCUR.
