Faulkner v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 6, 2014 · Morris, Villanti, Black
145 So. 3d 182; 2014 WL 3844080; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 11988 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Faulkner v. State

Opinion

MORRIS, Judge.

Jason Faulkner appeals the revocation of his community control and his resulting sentences in four cases, which total fifteen years in prison followed by ten years’ probation. We affirm his convictions and sentences with one exception. Upon revocation of Faulkner’s community control, the trial court sentenced him as a habitual felony offender in all four cases, but the offense of possession of methamphetamine *183 in case 10-1156 is not a qualifying offense under the habitual felony offender statute. See § 775.084(l)(a)(3), Fla. Stat. (2009); Winthrop v. State, 974 So.2d 512, 513 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008). We also note that Faulkner was not sentenced as a habitual felony offender in case 10-1156 when he was originally sentenced to community control in 2010. Accordingly, we reverse his sentence for possession of methamphetamine in case 10-1156 and remand for the limited purpose of striking the habitual offender designation.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.
