Burney v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 6, 2002 · Polen, Taylor
806 So. 2d 625; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 2929; 2002 WL 181113 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Burney v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Eugene Burney challenges the trial court’s denial of his rule 3.800 motion wherein he argued that his 45 year sentence is illegal. We remand for resentenc-ing as the state agrees'that the 45 year sentence exceeds the 40 year maximum sentence permitted by statute for the offense of second degree murder. See Farmer v. State, 672 So.2d 639 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996); Wright v. State, 600 So.2d 11 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).

. POLEN, C.J., TAYLOR and MAY, JJ., concur.
