Hudson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 1, 1984 · Lehan, Ryder, Schoonover
450 So. 2d 603; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 13262 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hudson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

James K. Hudson appeals his conviction and sentence for burglary of a dwelling. After careful consideration of the various issues raised in this appeal, we conclude that the only point which requires comment concerns sentencing.

Following his conviction by a jury, Hudson was sentenced to two years imprisonment as a youthful offender, followed by four years community control, with credit for 46 days served. Sections 958.05 and 958.10, Florida Statutes (1983), provide that a youthful offender shall not be sentenced to a period of more than two years in a community control program. As the trial court exceeded the two-year limit on placement in a community control program, we must reverse that portion of the sentence and remand for imposition of a sentence conforming to the statutory provisions.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.

RYDER, A.C.J., and SCHOONOVER and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
