Stroder v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Jun 11, 1992
599 So. 2d 287 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 91-1262.

June 11, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Columbia County; Royce Agner, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, Steven A. Been, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Suzanne G. Printy, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.


We affirm the convictions of the appellant for possession of cocaine with intent to sell, and sale of cocaine.

We reverse and remand the sentence of appellant, however, for a clarification by the trial court of the oral pronouncement which we find to be ambiguous. It is unclear whether the court intended to impose two consecutive nine-year sentences, or simply intended that the mandatory minimums run consecutively.

We would note, however, that consecutive nine-year sentences appear to constitute a departure sentence.

ZEHMER and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
