Johnson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

583 So. 2d 1093 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-3045.

July 24, 1991. Certification and Stay Denied September 5, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Indian River County; L.B. Vocelle, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Paul E. Petillo, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and John Tiedemann, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We reverse appellant's sentence as a habitual offender and remand for resentencing, but affirm as to the remaining issues.

The trial judge's "Order Imposing Sentence" incorrectly listed grand theft and sale or delivery of cocaine as the qualifying convictions. At the sentencing hearing the trial judge had ruled those convictions to be inadmissible and announced that he relied on two prior robbery convictions. However, the state concedes that those robbery convictions occurred on the same date. See Williams v. State, 573 So.2d 451 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991) and Barnes v. State, 576 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991) (en banc) (habitualization must be supported by sequential convictions).

AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART AND REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.

HERSEY, STONE and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
