Wong v. State
Wong v. State
Opinion of the Court
Pursuant to a plea agreement, the appellant pleaded no contest to several charges and received a suspended sentence of eight years’ incarceration. The appellant was placed on two years of community control, as a condition of which he was to serve one year in the County Jail. The only issue before us is whether this sentence was proper.
Appellate counsel has pursued this appeal by means of an Anders brief.
Under section 948.03(5), Florida Statutes (1993), a period of incarceration imposed as a condition of community control or probation cannot exceed 364 days. Thus, we reverse and remand the appellant’s sentence with directions that it be corrected to reflect 364 days in the County Jail instead of one year.
Reversed in part and affirmed in part.
