    Derek Leon WALTERS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    CASE NO. 1D17-3209
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed October 31, 2017
    
      Derek Leon: Walters, pro se, Appellant.
    Pamela Jo:Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM

Appellant filed a rulé1 3.800(a) motion raising' several arguments challenging the legality of his sentences fdr possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and aggravated assault with possession and discharge of á firearm. We affirm the trial court’s conclusion that the sentences are legal, but write to note that the twenty-year sentence for the aggravated assault is legal because of the minimum-mandatory sentence provision of section 775,087(2)(a)2., Florida Statutes (2010). The offense is not subject to reclassification pursuant to section 775.087(1) because a firearm is an essential element of aggravated assault. See § 784.021(1)(a). See Patterson v. State, 693 So.2d 74 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997).

AFFIRMED.
