State, 567 So.2d 1055, 1055 (Fla. 5th DCA 1990), quashed, 586 So.2d 1058 (Fla.1991):
DO FLORIDA’S UNIFORM SENTENCING GUIDELINES REQUIRE THAT LEGAL CONSTRAINT POINTS BE ASSESSED FOR EACH OFFENSE COMMITTED WHILE UNDER LEGAL CONSTRAINT?
We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(4) of the Florida Constitution. Having answered this question in the negative in Flowers v. State, 586 So.2d 1058 (Fla.1991), we quash the decisions below and remand these cases to the district court for reconsideration in light of Flowers.
It is so ordered.
