STATE OF FLORIDA

No. 1D19-0483
_____________________________
JORDAN WALKER,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Okaloosa County.
Angela D. Mason, Judge.
May 18, 2020
PER CURIAM.
Appellant challenges his convictions for traveling after
solicitation for sex with a minor, and unlawful use of a two-way
communications device. Reviewing only the charging document, as
we are constrained to do under Lee v. State, 258 So. 3d 1297 (Fla.
2018), we must reverse the lesser conviction. On remand, the trial
court should resentence for the remaining conviction, which we
affirm. See Sherman v. State, 272 So. 3d 829, 829 (Fla. 1st DCA
2019) (remanding, after Lee reversal, and instructing court to
resentence on the lesser conviction). We reject Appellantโs second
argument as meritless.
REVERSED in part, and AFFIRMED in part.
WOLF, KELSEY, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
