Carter v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District
Mar 28, 1991
576 So. 2d 934 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-1685.

March 28, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Volusia County, Gayle S. Graziano, J.

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and James T. Cook, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and David G. Mersch, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.


Carter was sentenced to three years incarceration followed by two years on community control. The applicable sentencing guidelines permitted range (including the one cell increase for violation of community control) was "community control or one to four and one-half years incarceration." (emphasis supplied) Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.988(d). No "departure reasons" were given.

We vacate the sentence and remand for resentencing because the applicable maximum sentencing range does not permit a sentence which combines incarceration and community control, without departure reasons. State v. VanKooten, 522 So.2d 830 (Fla. 1988).

Sentence VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing.

DAUKSCH and HARRIS, JJ., concur.
