Opinion

No. 5D99-3468.

Opinion filed April 20, 2000.

3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Osceola County, Anthony H. Johnson, Judge.

Sharon Lee Stedman, of Sharon Lee Stedman, P.A., Orlando, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Anthony J. Golden, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

GRIFFIN, J.

We find appellant's claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel to be without merit; however, in light of the supreme court's decision in State v. Thompson, 750 So.2d 643 (Fla. 1999), defendant must be resentenced.

SENTENCE VACATED and REMANDED.

DAUKSCH and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
