Dacosta v. State, 672 So. 2d 861

PER CURIAM.

The convictions below are affirmed. See State v. Anderson, 537 So.2d 1373 (Fla.1989). As in Shepherd ‍​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍v. State, 661 So.2d 426, 426-27 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), however:

Because the sentence included the three-year minimum mandatory provision required by section 775.087(2), Florida Statutes (1993), ‍​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍it was error, as the state concedes, for the guidelines scoresheet to include an 18 point addition for “possession of a firearm.” Section 921.0014, Florida Statutes ‍​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍(1993) specifically provides that the additional sentence points for carrying a firearm may be imposed only for felonies “other than those enumerated in s. 775.087(2).” ‍​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍Accordingly, the sentence is vacated and the cause remanded for resentencing upon a properly calculated scoresheet which shall not include the points in question.

See Palmer v. ‍​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‍State, 667 So.2d 1018 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996).

Affirmed in part, vacated in part and remanded.
