Taylor v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Oct 11, 1991
586 So. 2d 1345 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1991)

Opinion

No. 90-02677.

October 11, 1991.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; John P. Griffin, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Jennifer Y. Fogle, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Ron Napolitano, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


The appellant, George Taylor, seeks reversal of a departure sentence imposed upon him after this court previously reversed an earlier sentence for failure to prepare a written scoresheet. See Taylor v. State, 563 So.2d 822 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). In the instant appeal Taylor claims that the trial court violated the principles of Pope v. State, 561 So.2d 554 (Fla. 1990), in imposing a departure sentence. We agree and reverse because the trial court was foreclosed from departing from the guidelines upon our remand in Taylor's first appeal. Pope; see also Day v. State, 573 So.2d 1022 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991).

Reversed and remanded with directions to impose a guidelines sentence.

DANAHY, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and FRANK, JJ., concur.
