Vance v. StateVance v. State
Appellant, Curtis Vance, appeals his convictions for armed robbery with the use of a firearm, aggravated assault with the use of a firearm, and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, as well as the sentence imposed by the trial court for these оffenses.
First, appellant alleges that his conviction for both armed robbery and aggravated assault, and for aggravated assault and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony, all arising out of a single act, was imрermissible under Carawan v. State, 515 So.2d 161 (Fla. 1987).1 We agree. This court recently held in Ellison v. State, 538 So.2d 90 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989) that a defendant may not be convictеd of both aggravated assault with a firearm and use or display of a firearm during the commission of a felony when both offenses arise out of the same act. Dual convictions are also improper for both armed robbery and aggravated assault arising out of the same act. Denmark v. State, 538 So.2d 68 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Wright v. State, 519 So.2d 1157 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988). Accordingly, appellant‘s convictions for bоth use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and aggravated assault with the use of a firearm are vacated, and the trial court is directed to correct the judgment and sentence. Hogan v. State, 529 So.2d 1127 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988).
Second, appellant asserts that the trial court erred in allowing his sentencing guidеline scoresheet to reflect the inclusion of оne prior second-degree felony established only by an F.B.I. rapsheet, and four prior misdemeanors substantiated only with arrest and booking reports. We agree with аppellant‘s argument on this issue as well.
Accordingly, appellаnt‘s convictions for aggravated assault and use of а firearm during the commission of a felony are hereby vаcated and the case is remanded to the trial сourt for resentencing.

BARFIELD, Judge, concurring and dissenting:
I concur in the majority opinion with the exception of that part of the opinion which vacates the conviction for aggravatеd assault. For the reasons I expressed in Denmark v. State, 538 So.2d 68, 70 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989), I would affirm the aggravated assault conviction.
