Simpson v. State

Simpson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 5, 1997 · Farmer, Gunther, Polen
688 So. 2d 467; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 1862; 1997 WL 91377 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Simpson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm appellant’s convictions for possession of marijuana in excess of twenty grams, and possession of drug paraphernalia. There was competent, substantial evidence to support the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion to suppress.

We remand for correction of Simpson’s guideline scoresheet, to show the possession of marijuana was a level one offense, rather than a level three offense, and to adjust the guideline points accordingly. We affirm appellant’s sentence, however, as it was pursuant to a plea agreement upon the trial court’s denial of his suppression motion. Accordingly, the difference in points would not have affected the sentence. See Burrows v. State, 649 So.2d 902 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995).

GUNTHER, C.J., and POLEN and FARMER, JJ., concur.
