Langford v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided December 15, 2000No. 5D99-3098PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

In this Anders appeal,1 the state has acknowledged that Langford received a sentence for aggravated battery,2 which exceeded both the statutory maximum and the recommended guidelines range. It is therefore illegal. See, e.g., Eckard v. State, 758 So.2d 742 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000). Accordingly, we reverse Langford’s sen*109tence of twelve years incarceration followed by ten years probation and remand for resentencing.

Sentence VACATED; REMANDED.
