Dacosta v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
May 15, 1996
672 So. 2d 861 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 95-2253.

April 3, 1996. Rehearing Denied May 15, 1996.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Maxine Cohen Lando, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Donald Tunnage, Special Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Sandra S. Jaggard, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and GODERICH and GREEN, JJ.


The convictions below are affirmed. See State v. Anderson, 537 So.2d 1373 (Fla. 1989). As in Shepherd v. State, 661 So.2d 426, 426-27 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), however:

Because the sentence included the three-year minimum mandatory provision required by section 775.087 (2), Florida Statutes (1993), it was error, as the state concedes, for the guidelines scoresheet to include an 18 point addition for "possession of a firearm." Section 921.0014, Florida Statutes (1993) specifically provides that the additional sentence points for carrying a firearm may be imposed only for felonies "other than those enumerated in s. 775.087 (2)." Accordingly, the sentence is vacated and the cause remanded for resentencing upon a properly calculated scoresheet which shall not include the points in question.

See Palmer v. State, 667 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996).

Affirmed in part, vacated in part and remanded.
