District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

99 So. 3d 553

PER CURIAM.

We affirm Appellant’s convictions and his sentence for Count 1, but upon the State’s proper concession of error, we reverse and remand for resentencing on Count 2 (Domestic Battery). The record does not contain any evidence of a prior conviction of battery, aggravated battery, or felony battery that would allow the offense to be punished as a third-degree felony under section 784.03(2), Florida Statutes (2010). Without such evidence, the offense of domestic battery is a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail. See §§ 784.03(l)(b), 775.082(4)(a), Fla. Stat. (2010). Therefore, the sentence imposed for Count 2 — 84 days of time served in jail followed by one year of community control and one year of probation — exceeds the statutory maximum and is illegal.

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED for further proceedings.

THOMAS, WETHERELL, and MARSTILLER, JJ., concur.
