TUNDIDOR v. STATE

PER CURIAM.

The defendant's conviction for possession of a firearm while engaged in the offense of manslaughter is vacated as improperly duplicitous of the simultaneous conviction for the identical substantive offense of manslaughter with a firearm. Carawan v. State, 515 So.2d 161 (Fla. 1987); Henderson v. State, 526 So.2d 743 (Fla. 3d DCA 1988). We again reject the state's contention that this conclusion is negated by the enactment of chapter 88-131, section 7, Laws of Florida after the date of the instant offense. Sarduy v. State, 540 So.2d 203 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989); Smith v. State, 539 So.2d 601 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989); Heath v. State, 532 So.2d 9 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988).
