District Court of Appeal of Florida

1Opinion of the Court

SILBERMAN, Judge.

Antonio Maurice Williams appeals his judgment and sentence for burglary of a *250dwelling. Williams entered an open plea and challenges the sentence imposed of ten years’ probation with a condition of probation that he serve forty-eight months in prison. The State properly concedes that the original sentence was illegal. The trial court twice attempted to correct the sentence, and the State also properly concedes that the trial court did not have jurisdiction either time it attempted to correct the sentence. Accordingly, we reverse Williams’ sentence and remand for resentencing.
