Smith v. State
Smith v. State
Opinion of the Court
The defendant, Shawn Smith, appeals the denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The defendant’s sentence was imposed on December 17, 2002, after he was found guilty of attempted robbery, a third degree felony; fleeing or attempting to elude a law enforcement officer at a high rate of speed, a second degree felony; and leaving the scene of an accident involving injuries, a third degree felony. We affirm.
The defendant claims that the imposition of equal concurrent sentences as a habitual violent offender and as a prison releasee reoffender, violates section 775.082, Florida Statutes (1999), the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act. While we agree with this proposition, unfortunately for Mr. Smith, this principle and the case law upon which he relies,
Affirmed.
