Morales v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided January 2, 1990

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1990-01-02

Relies on 547 So. 2d 129 - Roberts v. State

Decided 1990-01-02

¶1On Motion for Rehearing

PER CURIAM.

¶2We grant appellant Morales’ motion for rehearing and withdraw our ruling dated July 5, 1989. The State concedes that the scoresheet under which Morales was sentenced erroneously added thirty points for “legal constraint.” See Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.701(d)(6). We therefore reverse the trial court’s order denying Morales’ Rule 3.850 motion and remand for resentencing under a recalculated scoresheet. Because the sentencing judge originally imposed a guidelines sentence, and the recalculated scoresheet will apparently result in a lower guidelines range, we note that a departure sentence is, in these circumstances, an available option if reasons for departure exist. See State v. Betancourt, 552 So.2d *6631107 (Fla.1989); Roberts v. State, 547 So.2d 129 (Fla.1989).

¶3Reversed and remanded.
