Capote v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1987-06-02

Relies on 498 So. 2d 863 - Whitehead v. State

Decided 1987-06-02

¶1On Motion to Relinquish Jurisdiction

PER CURIAM.

¶2Prior to Whitehead v. State, 498 So.2d 863 (Fla.1986), the trial judge deviated upward from the guidelines on the sole ground that the defendant had been declared a habitual offender under section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1985). In response to the brief of appellant, which raises this issue as the sole point on appeal, the state has filed a “motion to relinquish jurisdiction” to the trial court, which we take as a confession of error. Pursuant thereto, the sentence imposed below is reversed on the authority of Whiteheadand the cause is remanded for appropriate re-sentencing.
