ON MOTION FOR REHEARING OR CERTIFICATION
PER CURIAM.
We withdraw our previously issued opinion and substitute the following in its place.
We affirm appellant's conviction. His challenge to the admission of evidence of an arrest on a separate charge was not properly preserved for review on the ground raised on appeal. See Tillman v. State, 471 So.2d 32, 35 (Fla.1985).
The trial court adjudicated appellant guilty of attempted robbery with a firearm, sentenced him to a term of seven years incarceration, and checked off the three-year minimum mandatory term for the use of a firearm on appellant's written sentence. Two days later, over defense counsel's objection, the court held a hearing to correct the court's prior oral pronouncement to reflect the minimum mandatory term. Appellant claims that the subsequent sentencing hearing violated Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800 and the double jeopardy clause. According to the appellant, although his written sentence imposed the three-year minimum mandatory, the trial court made no such oral finding at the original sentencing hearing. See Harrington v. State, 570 So.2d 1140, 1142 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990) (striking parts of written probation revocation order that varied from court's express oral findings).
In State v. Davis, 639 So.2d 1048, 1049 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), approved on other grounds, 661 So.2d 1193 (Fla.1995), the first district held that the trial court's imposition, upon the defendant's resentencing, of a three-year minimum mandatory term for use of a firearm during the commission of a

robbery was proper, even though it resulted in a harsher sentence than that imposed during the original sentencing. "Section 775.087(2), Florida Statutes, contains no provision permitting the trial court to exercise its discretion in imposing a three-year minimum mandatory sentence once a defendant is convicted of certain enumerated felonies." Id. (citations omitted); see also State v. Ross, 447 So.2d 1380, 1382-83 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984)(remanded for...To continue reading
