¶1The State properly concedes the trial court committed error by imposing sentence upon appellant without first conducting a sentencing hearing, as appellant requested. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.720(b); State v. Scott, 439 So.2d 219, 221 (Fla.1983). We REVERSE appellant’s sentence and REMAND for the trial court to conduct a sentencing hearing, during which appellant shall be “entitled to show legal cause why sentence should not be pronounced and to submit evidence relevant to the sentence.” Id.
