697 So. 2d 1012

Walker v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 13, 1997

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1997-08-13

Relies on Cayson v. State

Decided 1997-08-13

PER CURIAM.

¶1We affirm the sentence on case number 95-9146 in all respects. In case number 96-9946, however, we reverse and remand with directions that defendant be re-sentenced within the guidelines. The 16 year imprisonment imposed in that case is illegal because the sentence is well beyond the five year maximum allowed for a third degree felony under section 775.083, Florida Statutes (1995). See Cayson v. State, 638 So.2d 1061 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994) (a sentence in excess of the maximum allowed by law will not be enforced even with a plea agreement).

¶2CASE NO. 95-9146 AFFIRMED; CASE NO. 96-9946 REVERSED.

WARNER, FARMER and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
