Harper v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 11, 2009 · Larose, Casanueva, Davis
5 So. 3d 765; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 2016; 2009 WL 607495 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Harper v. State

Opinion

LaROSE, Judge.

Larry David Harper appeals the imposition of a 33.4-month sentence following his no contest plea to charges of criminal mischief, felony petit theft, and burglary of a structure. He claims that the scoresheet erroneously included 3.1 points for two additional offenses that the State dropped as part of the plea agreement. The State concedes that the scoresheet is incorrect. Mr. Harper preserved this issue for appeal *766 by filing a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) motion to correct a sentencing error. 1 See Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)(d); Jackson v. State, 988 So.2d 562, 572 (Fla. 2008) (noting that scoresheet error is sentencing error properly preserved through a rule 3.800(b) motion); State v. Anderson, 905 So.2d 111, 118 (Fla. 2005) (same).

We reverse and remand for resentenc-ing.

. Because the trial court did not rule on Mr. Harper’s motion within sixty days of filing, the motion is deemed denied. See Henson v. State, 977 So.2d 736, 739 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008).
