v. CASE NO. 1D13-1006

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee. _____________________________/

Opinion filed December 5, 2016.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County. Adrian G. Soud, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Glen P. Gifford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Virginia Chester Harris, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Javarris Lane was sentenced to life without parole for murder and an aggregate

eighty years in prison for child abuse and sexual battery. In an earlier opinion, we

affirmed his life sentence but reversed the term-of-years sentence. Lane v. State, 151

So. 3d 20 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014). The Florida Supreme Court has now quashed that

decision to the extent it affirmed the life sentence. Lane v. State, 41 Fla. L. Weekly S454 (Fla. Sept. 21, 2016). Consistent with the supreme court’s decision, we remand

for resentencing. The trial court is directed to comply with the Florida Supreme

Court order.

REMANDED FOR RESENTENCING.
