Opinion

Case No. 3D00-1183.

Opinion filed July 19, 2000.

An Appeal under Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(i) from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Lawrence A. Schwartz, Judge. Lower Tribunal No. 96-31154

Jerome Singletary, in proper person.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Darien M. Doe, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before COPE, GODERICH and SORONDO, JJ.


CONFESSION OF ERROR


The defendant challenges his sentence pursuant to the 1995 sentencing guidelines, which were invalidated by Heggs v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S137 (Fla. Feb. 17, 2000), on the ground that chapter 95-184 violated the single subject requirement of the Florida Constitution. The state properly concedes that the underlying offense in this case occurred within the window period determined in Trapp v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S429 (Fla. June 1, 2000). Therefore, this cause is reversed and remanded for resentencing under the guidelines in effect prior to the enactment of Chapter 95-184.
