STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 1D02-4780.

Background: Defendant was convicted, after a jury trial in the Circuit Court, Wakulla County, N. Sanders Sauls, J., of sale of controlled substance and possession of controlled substance. Defendant appealed.

Holding: The District Court of Appeal held that the sentences would be affirmed, despite alleged error in Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet.
Affirmed.

*1285 Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender; and James C. Banks, Special Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General; and Robert R. Wheeler, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.
Jimmy Rosier (Appellant) was charged with one count of sale of a controlled substance (Count One) and one count of possession of a controlled substance (Count Two). The jury found him guilty of both charged offenses, and the trial court sentenced*1286 him to ten and five years’ incarceration, respectively, on Counts One and Two. Appellant contends that the trial court erred 1) in limiting the defense’s cross-examination of the State’s key witness and 2) in calculating the Criminal Punishment Code scoresheet by including as additional offenses two offenses (which added 5.4 points total) that later were nolle prossed after Appellant was allowed to withdraw his plea regarding those offenses. Finding no abuse of discretion in the limiting of cross-examination, we affirm the convictions. See Lukehart v. State, 776 So.2d 906 (Fla.2000); Moore v. State, 701 So.2d 545, 549 (Fla.1997). As to the sentencing scoresheet issue, we rely on the reasoning in Romero v. State, 805 So.2d 92, 93-94 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (Altenbernd, J., concurring with opinion), and affirm the sentences because the sentences actually imposed could have been imposed under a corrected scoresheet (without a departure). See Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620, 627 (Fla.2000); Sain v. State, 824 So.2d 225 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002).
Appellant’s convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.
