PER CURIAM.

There is no merit in the defendant’s claim of error in his conviction for second *488degree murder with a firearm, which is affirmed. The separate conviction for possession of a firearm in the commission of the second degree murder, however, is impermissibly duplicitous and is therefore vacated. See Sales v. State, 653 So.2d 456 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995); Galban v. State, 605 So.2d 579 (Fla. 3d DCA 1992).

Affirmed in part, vacated in part.
