We have for review Osborne v. State, 25 Fla. L.

We have jurisdiction. See Art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

Based on our recent decision in Salters v. State, 758 So.2d 667 (Fla. 2000), and the State's confession of error, we quash the decision below and remand for resentencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect on February 5, 1997, the date of the offenses.

It is so ordered.
