Opinion

Case No. 1D99-1171

Opinion filed September 28, 2000.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County; Kim A. Skievaski, Judge.

Appellant, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, James W. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant appeals the denial of his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) in which he argues that his sentence is illegal because the trial court improperly retained jurisdiction over his case in violation of Section 947.16(3), Florida Statutes (1981). We reverse and remand for further consideration in light of our recent opinion in Hampton v. State, Fla. Law Weekly D1819 (Fla. 1st DCA August 1, 2000).

REVERSED and REMANDED, with directions.

ERVIN, LAWRENCE and PADOVANO, JJ., CONCUR.
