1Opinion of the CourtPolen, C.J.

Angel Rivera’s conviction for robbery is affirmed. The State concedes, and we agree, that the trial court erred in designating Rivera as both an habitual felony offender and as a three-time violent felony offender. See Oberst v. State, 796 So.2d 1263 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001)(legislature did not intend dual designation under § 775.084); § 775.084(l)(a),(c), Fla. Stat. *570(2000).
