729 So. 2d 508 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1999)

Opinion

No. 99-5

Opinion filed April 7, 1999. JANUARY TERM, A.D. 1998

A Case of Original Jurisdiction — Habeas Corpus; L.T. Nos. 93-15639, 92-12917

Anthony Rocco, in proper person.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Dominique T. Suite-Brown, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

Before NESBITT, FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.


In accordance with the state's proper confession of error, we grant defendant a belated appeal. See Robinson v. State, 373 So.2d 898 (Fla. 1979). As the state concedes, defendant's sentence is not in accord with the plea agreement; the court imposed consecutive rather than concurrent sentences in case number 93-15639. We, therefore, vacate defendant's sentence. On remand, the trial court is directed to resentence defendant pursuant to the plea agreement to concurrent sentences on counts one and two in case number 93-15639. The sentence imposed in that case is to run concurrent with the sentence imposed in case number 92-12917.

Habeas granted; sentence vacated; cause remanded for resentencing.
