697 So. 2d 976

Brinson v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1997-08-06

Relies on 690 So. 2d 629 - Frye v. State

Decided 1997-08-06

PER CURIAM.

¶1We affirm defendant’s conviction, but vacate his sentence and remand for resentenc-ing.

¶2The trial judge sentenced defendant under the mistaken belief that when sentencing defendant as a habitual offender, he was required to impose a mandatory minimum term. The imposition of a mandatory minimum is permissive. Frye v. State, 690 So.2d 629 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997). As in Frye, the trial court in this case is, of course, free to exercise its discretion on remand to impose a mandatory minimum.

¶3Affirmed in part; vacated in part; remanded.
