Carter v. State

Charles R. Carter was convicted by jury of issuing worthless cheeks. He was sentenced as an habitual felony offender based on three prior convictions, all imposed on January 5, 1987. He argues on appeal that reversal for resentencing is required by Barnes v. State, 576 So.2d 758 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991). We agree. Therefore, Carter’s sentence as an habitual felony offender is reversed, and the case is remanded for resentencing.

JOANOS, C.J., and SMITH and ZEHMER, JJ., concur.
