Grigsby v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

513 So. 2d 795 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. 87-0809.

October 14, 1987.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Broward County, Mark A. Speiser, J.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tanja Ostapoff, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Deborah Guller, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Defendant was sentenced following a revocation of his probation. The scoresheet used in computing the guideline sentence included points for being under a legal constraint at the time of the offense. It is undisputed, however, that he was under no legal constraint at that time. In fact, the only restriction on defendant was the probation sentence imposed after the offense.

The state contends that a prior violation of this probation justifies an increase in the total points on the scoresheet. However, the status to be scored is any legal constraint that existed at the time of the offense for which he is scored.

Since no legal constraint existed at the time of the offense, we reverse the sentence imposed and remand for resentencing.

GLICKSTEIN, J., and BLOOM, PHILIP, Associate Judge, concur.
