651 So. 2d 832

Jones v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1995-03-22

Relies on 627 So. 2d 1316 - Seago v. State · Lane v. State

Decided 1995-03-22

¶1CONFESSION OF ERROR

PER CURIAM.

¶2The state confesses error in the trial court’s denial of the defendant’s motion to correct an illegal sentence dated June 27, 1994. As the state correctly concedes, the trial court erred by increasing the defendant’s sentence in Count II from fifteen years concurrent to the other counts, to seven years consecutive to Count I. See Seago v. State, 627 So.2d 1316 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993); Lane v. State, 627 So.2d 556 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993).

¶3Accordingly, we reverse the consecutive sentence of seven years in Count II, with directions to the trial court to reinstate the defendant’s original sentence of fifteen years concurrent to the other counts.

¶4Reversed and remanded with directions.
