Solone v. State

LAZZARA, Judge.

The appellant, Mauro Solone, seeks review of the trial court’s order denying his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Because we conclude that appellant’s original habitual violent felony offender sentences were based on an improper reclassification to a higher degree of a felony, we reverse and remand for resentencing. We reject, however, the appellant’s claim that he did not qualify for treatment as a habitual violent felony offender and affirm the trial *720court’s order denying the motion on that basis.
