Opinion
No. 90-2570.
September 26, 1991. On Motion for Certification November 1, 1991.
An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County; John Parnham, Judge.
Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Steven A. Rothenburg, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Gypsy Bailey, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.
Charles R. Carter was convicted by jury of issuing worthless checks. He was sentenced as an habitual felony offender based on three prior convictions, all imposed on January 5, 1987. He argues on appeal that reversal for resentencing is required by Barnes v. State, 576 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991). We agree. Therefore, Carter's sentence as an habitual felony offender is reversed, and the case is remanded for resentencing.
JOANOS, C.J., and SMITH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
ON MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION
Appellee's motion for certification is granted, and we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the same question certified in Keel v. State, 582 So.2d 174 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991).
JOANOS, C.J., and SMITH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
