District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2000-08-30

Relies on Heggs v. State · 760 So. 2d 924 - Trapp v. State · 761 So. 2d 419 - Smith v. State

PER CURIAM.

¶1We review the order of the trial court summarily denying Jackson Dorema’s motion for post-conviction relief filed pursuant to rule 3.800 of the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, alleging his right to be resentenced under the 1994 sentencing guidelines.

¶2The Supreme Court of Florida recently held that the operative window period in which to challenge the sentencing guideline provisions amended by Chapter 95-184, Laws of Florida, commenced on October 1, 1995, and ended on May 24, 1997. See Trapp v. State, 760 So.2d 924 (Fla. 2000). As we did in Speed v. State, 764 So.2d 873 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), we agree with Judge Altenbernd’s analysis in Smith v. State, 761 So.2d 419 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), on the need to remand such cases for a recalculation of the defendant’s sentence under the 1994 guidelines scoresheet.

¶3Accordingly, we reverse the order denying 3.800 relief and remand for reconsideration of whether sentencing is required pursuant to Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620 (Fla.2000).
