Sanders v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 5, 2002 · Altenbernd, Kelly, Northcutt
816 So. 2d 1267; 2002 Fla. App. LEXIS 7672; 2002 WL 1186018 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Sanders v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Jesse Sanders was convicted of one count of attempted second-degree murder. He was sentenced to fifteen years in prison as both a prison releasee reoffender and a habitual felony offender. A court may not impose equal concurrent sentences as both a prison releasee reoffender and a habitual felony offender for a single offense. Grant v. State, 770 So.2d 655 (Fla. 2000). The State concedes error. Accordingly, we reverse and remand this case to the trial court with directions to vacate the habitual felony offender sentence.

Reversed and remanded.
