Opinion

No. 88-1491.

January 31, 1989.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Phillip W. Knight, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and N. Joseph Durant, Jr., Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Ivy R. Ginsberg, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARKDULL and JORGENSON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

The state concedes that the trial court erred in sentencing the defendant as an habitual offender because the trial court's oral pronouncements were not supported by written, specific findings of fact. We, therefore, remand for the trial court to set forth a written factual basis for its habitual offender determination and to resentence the defendant. Watson v. State, 492 So.2d 831 (Fla. 5th DCA 1986).
