Summary
vacating a sentence and remanding for resentencing because the trial court had no jurisdiction to sentence the defendant before mandate issued
Summary of this case from Henderson v. StateOpinion
No. 93-1575.
April 29, 1994.
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Lake County, Jerry T. Lockett, J.
James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Daniel J. Schafer, Asst. Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for appellant.
Alvin F. Wilson, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Carmen F. Corrente, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.
Alvin F. Wilson appeals the sentences imposed upon him after we reversed his original sentences in Wilson v. State, 618 So.2d 741 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). However, the trial court mistakenly believed that the mandate of this court reversing the original sentence became final prior to the resentencing on May 17, 1993. Since the issuance of the mandate was delayed until June 23, 1993 because a motion for rehearing was filed, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to resentence on May 17, 1993 while the original appeal was pending with this court.
We therefore must vacate the sentences imposed on May 17, 1993 and remand for resentencing.
SENTENCES VACATED; REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
