LAGERIAN ISSAC THURSTON, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 4D07-1957 [July 9, 2008] PER CURIAM. Appellant was convicted of attempted second degree murder with a firearm and challenges his fifty year prison sentence as being illegal because it exceeds the thirty year statutory maximum sentence for a first degree felony. For the reasons we explained in our en banc opinion in Collazo v. State, 966 So. 2d 429 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007), we reverse for resentencing within the thirty year statutory maximum sentence for a first degree felony. STONE, FARMER and KLEIN, JJ., concur. * * *
