Burkes v. State

19 So. 3d 385, 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 7446, 2009 WL 1640016

Opinion

LaROSE, Judge.

David Burkes appeals judgments and sentences imposed after the trial court revoked his probation. We affirm all of the judgments. We also affirm the habitual felony offender sentences imposed for four counts of sale of cocaine.

We reverse as to the guidelines sentence imposed on count two of case number CRC 06-26728 for cocaine possession; the scoresheet improperly included points for the offenses for which Mr. Burkes received habitual offender sentences. 1 See Teal v. State, 777 So.2d 1105 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001). The State properly concedes error. “ ‘When a defendant is being sentenced as a habitual offender for some cases and under the guidelines for other cases at the same hearing, it is improper to score the crimes for which he receives habitual offender treatment as additional offenses in calculating the guidelines sentence.’ ” Olsen v. State, 791 So.2d 558, 560 (Fla. 2d DCA 2001) (quoting Eblin v. State, 677 So.2d 388, 389 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996)).

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

1 . Mr. Burkes preserved the error by filing a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2) motion. The motion is deemed denied because the trial court did not rule upon it within the required sixty days. See Watts v. State, 973 So.2d 1271 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008).
