Lynn v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 13, 2009 · Palmer, Sawaya, Orfinger
2 So. 3d 1088; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 2915; 2009 WL 347768 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Lynn v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Rashean Lynn appeals the trial court’s order revoking his probation and sentencing him to fifteen years in prison for his earlier conviction of trafficking in cocaine. The trial court concluded that Lynn violated his probation by committing a new law violation (or several of them), and by changing his residence without first procuring the consent of his probation officer. As to the former violation, we affirm without further discussion. As to the latter, we must reverse as no violation regarding a change of residence condition was alleged. Revoking probation for conduct not charged is fundamental error. Smith v. State, 738 So.2d 433, 435 (Fla. 1st DCA1999).

We affirm the revocation of Lynn’s probation and the sentence imposed. We remand with directions to enter an order of revocation of probation deleting any reference to a condition three (change of residence) violation, as no such allegation was made against Lynn.

AFFIRMED IN PART; and REMANDED.

PALMER, C.J., SAWAYA and ORFINGER, JJ., concur.
