PER CURIAM.

The appellant was convicted of driving while license revoked as a habitual traffic offender, in violation of section 322.34(5), Florida Statutes (2009) (Count I); driving while license suspended, revoked or canceled with knowledge, in violation of section 322.34(2)(c), Florida Statutes (2009) (Count II); and driving without a valid license, in violation of section 322.03(1), Florida Statutes (2009) (Count III). All three counts arose out of the same offense. We affirm the appellant’s conviction on Count I without discussion. We reverse the appellant’s conviction on Count II because Counts I and II are mutually exclusive. See Franklin v. State, 816 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002). We also reverse the appellant’s conviction on Count III. Dual convictions on Counts I and III violate double jeopardy because Count III is a necessarily lesser-included offense of Count I. See § 775.021(4)(b)3., Fla. Stat. (2009); Fla. Std. Jury Instr. (Crim.) 28.11(a).

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED with instructions to vacate the appellant’s convictions on Counts II and III and resentence him on Count I.
