State, Florida Parole Commission v. Kendrick
State, Florida Parole Commission v. Kendrick
Opinion of the Court
After violating probation on count II, Michael Kendrick was credited with time served in prison on count I against his new term of imprisonment. While on conditional release supervision, he moved the court for correction of his sentence due to an unintended result — in that he was being required to serve more time than anticipated — asking for a downward modification of his sentence to effectuate the intention of all parties to his plea agreement. Instead of modifying his sentence, the trial court issued an order terminating his supervised release. The order was entered without notice to the State of Florida Parole Commission, which was charged with supervising Kendrick’s conditional release.
Accordingly, we grant the petition, quash the order on review, and remand for the trial court once again to address Kendrick’s motion, so that it may resentence him if it determines resentencing is warranted.
