Aguilera v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District

521 So. 2d 319 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 88-54.

March 8, 1988.

An Appeal under Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(g) from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Arthur Rothenberg, Judge.

Manuel Aguilera, in pro. per.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before HENDRY, BASKIN and FERGUSON, JJ.


Appellant contends, by this appeal from a ruling denying his Rule 3.850 motion for post conviction relief, that the court erred in sentencing him to three consecutive three-year mandatory minimum sentences for use of a firearm, where all three offenses arose out of a single criminal episode. We agree, and the State concedes, that the stacked mandatory minimum sentences violate the dictates of Palmer v. State, 438 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1983), which has retroactive application, Cisnero v. State, 458 So.2d 377 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984).

The cause is remanded for a correction of sentence so that the minimum mandatory sentences run concurrently.
