We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v.

Spencer claims that fundamental sentencing error occurred when he was sentenced pursuant to a plea agreement to simultaneous periods of incarceration and probation. The State has not responded to these allegations, instead arguing only that the error is not preserved for appellate review. Because the merits of the sentencing error at issue in this case are not adequately briefed, we quash the decision below and remand for further proceedings in light of our opinion in Maddox v. State, 760 So.2d 89 (Fla.2000).
It is so ordered.
