Dacosta v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
Dacosta v. State, 672 So. 2d 861 (1996)
1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 3339; 1996 WL 148855
Goderich, Green, Schwartz
Dacosta v. State
Opinion of the Court
The convictions below are affirmed. See State v. Anderson, 537 So.2d 1373 (Fla. 1989). As in Shepherd v. State, 661 So.2d 426, 426-27 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), however:
Because the sentence included the three-year minimum mandatory provision required by section 775.087(2), Florida Statutes (1993), it was error, as the state concedes, for the guidelines scoresheet to include an 18 point addition for “possession of a firearm.” Section 921.0014, Florida Statutes (1993) specifically provides that the additional sentence points for carrying a firearm may be imposed only for felonies “other than those enumerated in s. 775.087(2).” Accordingly, the sentence is vacated and the cause remanded for resentencing upon a properly calculated scoresheet which shall not include the points in question.
See Palmer v. State, 667 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996).
Affirmed in part, vacated in part and remanded.
