616 So. 2d 186 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1993)

Opinion

No. 92-0164.

April 7, 1993.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; Walter N. Colbath, Jr., Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Allen J. DeWeese, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and Joseph A. Tringali, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse appellant's conviction for grand theft as the state failed to establish that the fair market value of the property exceeded $300.00. See Taylor v. State, 425 So.2d 1191 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983). On remand the trial court should reduce the conviction to petit theft.

We find no error in the remaining issues but remand for resentencing in light of our reversal of the grand theft conviction.

DELL, WARNER and POLEN, JJ., concur.
