District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

672 So. 2d 634 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 95-2725.

April 26, 1996.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County; Edward Philman, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Alisa Smith, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and James W. Rogers, Senior Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for appellee.


Appellant, who was only eligible for a non-state prison sentence, was simultaneously sentenced to county jail terms for various felony and misdemeanor offenses. He argues that his cumulative sentences exceed the one-year limitation set forth in section 922.051, Florida Statutes (1995). We conclude that appellant's cumulative county jail sentences exceed the one-year limitation established by section 922.051. The sentences are therefore vacated and this case is remanded for resentencing in accordance with the statute. See Singleton v. State, 554 So.2d 1162 (Fla. 1990); Bachman v. State, 21 Fla. L. Weekly D653, ___ So.2d ___ [1996 WL 108426] (Fla. 1st DCA Mar. 13, 1996).

BOOTH, JOANOS and BENTON, JJ., concur.
