Jones v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 23, 1992 · Barfield, Ervin, Zehmer
606 So. 2d 505; 1992 Fla. App. LEXIS 11290; 1992 WL 308630 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Milton Jones appeals a judgment and sentence adjudicating him guilty of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell in violation of section 893.13(l)(a)(l), Florida Statutes (1987), and driving with a suspended or revoked license in violation of section 322.34(1), Florida Statutes (1987). The judgment mistakenly lists the possession offense as a first degree felony, when in fact that offense constitutes a second degree felony, and imposes a sentence of 2½ years’ incarceration to be followed by 13 years’ probation. The state correctly concedes that the sentence imposed exceeds the statutory maximum sentence of 15 years’ incarceration. See § 775.-082(3)(c), Fla.Stat. (1987). Accordingly, we reverse and remand for correction of the judgment and resentencing.

ERVIN, ZEHMER and BARFIELD, JJ., concur.
