Aira v. State
Supreme Court of Florida
Aira v. State, 593 So. 2d 1049 (Fla. 1992)
17 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 164; 1992 Fla. LEXIS 244; 1992 WL 39782
Barkett, Grimes, Harding, Kogan, McDonald, Overton, Shaw
Aira v. State
Opinion of the Court
We have for review Aira v. State, 583 So.2d 419 (Fla. 5th DCA 1991), in which the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s use of a multiplier in calculating legal constraint points. We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution.
In Flowers v. State, 586 So.2d 1058 (Fla. 1991), we disapproved the use of a multiplier and held that legal constraint points are to be scored once on the sentencing guideline scoresheet.
Accordingly, we quash the decision below to the extent that it conflicts with our decision in Flowers, and remand this case for reconsideration.
It is so ordered.
