Hunter v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 13, 1997 · Frank, Lazzara, Whatley
694 So. 2d 887; 1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 6542; 1997 WL 318043 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hunter v. State

Opinion of the Court

FRANK, Acting Chief Judge.

Sherry Hunter, in Case No. 94-161, was adjudicated guilty of uttering a forged instrument. She was placed on probation, which she subsequently violated, and was then placed on community control. On January 16, 1996, Hunter admitted the community control violation. The trial court, orally pronouncing sentence, departed from the guidelines but never reduced the reasons to a writing. Accordingly, Hunter must be resen-teneed within the guidelines. Cherubin v. State, 682 So.2d 173 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996). The trial court should note that this opinion applies only to Case No. 94-161. Moreover, an apparent scoresheet error exists in that case, as Hunter was scored for the commission of two offenses although she was charged with only one.

Reversed and remanded for resentencing within the guidelines.

LAZZARA and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
