Opinion

PER CURIAM.

After reviewing the briefs and record on appeal, we find appellant has failed to demonstrate any reversible error; therefore, the judgment appealed is affirmed.

The judgment and sentence of the court, while indicating the appellant was to receive credit for all time served in jail, does not specifically set forth the period of credit time to be allowed, as required by Section 921.161(1), Florida Statutes (1975). Smith v. State, 310 So.2d 770 (Fla. 2d DCA 1975). In addition, appellant was sentenced to confinement “at hard labor.” To be imprisoned “at hard labor” is improper because no existing state statute provides for its imposition as a sentence for any offense. McDonald v. State, 321 So.2d 453 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975).

Remanded for correction of the sentence; otherwise affirmed. Appellant need not be present for this purpose.

GRIMES, Acting C. J., SCHEB, J., and McNULTY, JOSEPH P. (Ret.), Associate Judge, concur.
