Carter v. State
Carter v. State
Opinion of the Court
Charles R. Carter was convicted by jury of issuing worthless cheeks. He was sentenced as an habitual felony offender based on three prior convictions, all imposed on January 5, 1987. He argues on appeal that reversal for resentencing is required by Barnes v. State, 576 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991). We agree. Therefore, Carter’s sentence as an habitual felony offender is reversed, and the case is remanded for resentencing.
ON MOTION FOR CERTIFICATION
Appellee’s motion for certification is granted, and we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the same question certified in Keel v. State, 582 So.2d 174 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991).
JOANOS, C.J., and SMITH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
