Garris v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 8, 2000 · Harris, Sawaya, Thompson
765 So. 2d 311; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 11461; 2000 WL 1268780 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Garris v. State

Opinion of the Court

THOMPSON, C.J.

Thomas Dean Garris appeals the denial of his Rule 3.800 motion to correct an illegal sentence. He contends that he is entitled to relief pursuant to Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620 (Fla. 2000). The trial court denied relief “because the sentences imposed under the 1995 guidelines could have been imposed under the 1994 guidelines.” We affirm. See Heggs, 759 So.2d at 627 (holding “if a person’s sentence imposed under the 1995 guidelines could have been imposed under the 1994 guidelines (without a departure), then that person shall not be entitled to relief under our decision here”).

AFFIRMED.

HARRIS and SAWAYA, JJ., concur.
