Nelson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 5, 1991 · Baskin, Jorgenson, Nesbitt
575 So. 2d 754; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 1620; 1991 WL 26821 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Nelson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the judgment of conviction of attempted armed robbery with a firearm, §§ 812.13(2); 777.04(4)(a), Fla.Stat. (1989), finding the claims raised are without merit.

However, we vacate the defendant’s sentence since his conviction was impermissi-bly enhanced to a first-degree felony. See Williams v. State, 537 So.2d 195 (Fla.2d DCA 1989); Lee v. State, 400 So.2d 1238 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981); § 775.087, Fla.Stat. (1989). Upon remand, defendant’s offense shall be scored as a second-degree felony for purposes of resentencing.

Conviction affirmed; sentence vacated, and cause remanded for resentencing.
