Albano v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District

769 So. 2d 434 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

Case No. 2D00-3247

Opinion filed September 20, 2000.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(i) from the Circuit Court for Sarasota County; Stephen L. Dakan, Judge.


William Albano challenges the trial court's order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800. Albano's motion alleged that he was entitled to be resentenced under Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620 (Fla. 2000). The trial court denied Albano's motion, attaching scoresheets which reflect that the sentence Albano received could have been imposed under the 1994 sentencing guidelines without a departure.

Heggs is clear that the only defendants entitled to relief are those whose sentences were adversely affected by the 1995 amendments to the sentencing guidelines. Id. at 627. Because Albano's sentence could have been imposed under the 1994 guidelines without a departure, he was not adversely affected by the amendments. Therefore, we affirm.

PARKER, A.C.J., and CASANUEVA and SALCINES, JJ., Concur.
