¶1*336 PER CURIAM.

¶2Thompson appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief. We reverse and remand for resentencing.

¶3On September 26, 1989, Thompson entered a guilty plea to delivery of cocaine. The trial judge accepted Thompson's plea and determined Thompson to be a habitual offender. The judge then sentenced Thompson to two and one-half years in prison under the sentencing guidelines followed by five years of probation as a habitual offender. In 1990, Thompson violated probation and was sentenced to thirty years in prison.

¶4Thompson claims his prison sentence of two and one-half years followed by five years' probation as a habitual offender is an illegal hybrid sentence. We agree. See Burrell v. State,610 So.2d 594 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992); Moorer v. State,614 So.2d 643 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993). Accordingly, we reverse the denial of Thompson's motion and remand for resentencing. On remand, Thompson should be sentenced to a total guidelines sentence increased by one cell for the violation of probation. See Burrell; Williams v. State,581 So.2d 144 (Fla. 1991).

¶5Because we reverse the denial of Thompson's motion on the illegal sentencing claim, we need not address Thompson's second point.

¶6Reversed and remanded.
