Theodore v. State , 722 So. 2d 271 ( 1998 )

PER CURIAM.

Jason Theodore pled no contest to the charge of carrying a concealed firearm,¹ specifically reserving his right to appeal the trial court’s imposition of eighteen sentencing points for the firearm possession.² We strike the eighteen sentencing points as error because additional points cannot be scored for the presence of a firearm when the only offense charged was possession of a firearm as an essential element. See White v. State, 714 So.2d 440 (Fla.1998).

Judgment AFFIRMED; sentence VACATED; cause REMANDED.

W. SHARP, PETERSON and ANTOON, JJ., concur.

2 . Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.702(12).
