Lead Opinion

ADKINS, Justice.

In Tisdale v. State, 475 So.2d 1331 (Fla. 5th DCA 1985), the court vacated Tisdale’s sentence, finding ‍​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‍error in the trial court’s application of the guidelines in effect at the time of sentencing rather than at the time of the crime’s commission. We have jurisdiction based on ‍​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‍conflict. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.

In State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla.1985), we found that the guidelines in effect at the time of sentencing may properly be applied to determine a defendant’s sentence. See ‍​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‍State v. Taft, 487 So.2d 1068 (Fla.1986).

We therefore quash the opinion here under review.

It is so ordered.

McDonald, C.J., and BOYD, OVER-TON and BARKETT, JJ., concur. EHRLICH, J., concurs specially with an opinion. SHAW, J., ‍​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‍dissents with an opinion.

Dissenting Opinion

SHAW, ‍​‌‌​​​​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‍Justice,
