Cordova v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 2, 1991 · Gersten, Goderich, Jorgenson
572 So. 2d 1008; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 3; 1991 WL 119 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Cordova v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Noel Cordova appeals from a sentence entered following a guilty plea. Upon the state’s proper confession of error, we reverse the order sentencing Cordova beyond the guidelines range and remand with instructions to enter a guidelines sentence. See Wynn v. State, 557 So.2d 188 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990) (trial court could not impose departure sentence after it accepted plea bargain under which defendant agreed to plead nolo contendere to all charges, provided he would receive guidelines sentence).

Sentence vacated; remanded with directions.
