Haynecz v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 20, 1999 · Farmer, Gross, Gunther
744 So. 2d 545; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 13749; 1999 WL 966733 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Haynecz v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals his guilty pleas and sentences for burglary and possession of burglary tools. We affirm in all respects, except we reverse the defendant’s sentences and remand for re-sentencing.

The defendant asserts the trial court improperly enhanced his sentences under the Criminal Street Gang Prevention Act, section 874.04, Florida Statutes (1997). The Florida Supreme Court has recently declared section 874.04 violates substantive due process, thereby rendering it unconstitutional. See State v. O.C., Case No. 94,-513, — So.2d -, 1999 WL 731661 (Fla. Sept. 16, 1999). Because the trial court enhanced the defendant’s sentences pursuant to section 874.04, we reverse and remand for re-sentencing.

AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.

GUNTHER, FARMER and GROSS, JJ., concur.
