Rosa v. State
592 So. 2d 769
Fla. Dist. Ct. App.
1992
Check Treatment
HARRIS, Judge.

Jesus Rosa pled nolo contendere to five counts of robbery. He was sentenced to ten years probation with four years incarceration with the Department of Corrections “as a condition of probation.” He appeals. We reverse.

Although the amount of incarceration appears to be within the guidelines range, the manner in which it was imposed (condition of probation) makes the sentence illegal. Section 948.03(8), Florida Statutes (1989) limits the period of incarceration as a condition of probation to no more than 364 days. Of course, the court can always correct an illegal sentence. Rule 3.800(a), Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.

REVERSED and REMANDED for re-sentencing.

DAUKSCH and W. SHARP, JJ., concur.
