Opinion
No. 96-02597
Opinion filed April 24, 1998.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Claudia R. Isom, Judge.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Robert D. Rosen, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan D. Dunlevy, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.
Michael Davis appeals from his sentence as a violent career criminal for offenses occurring on January 22, 1996. InThompson v. State, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D713 (Fla. 2d DCA Mar. 13, 1998), this court held that chapter 95-182, Laws of Florida, which created violent career criminal sentencing, is unconstitutional as a violation of the single subject rule. Thus, based on Thompson, we reverse Davis's violent career criminal sentence and remand for resentencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect at the time of Davis's sentencing on May 7, 1996.
Reversed and remanded.
