498 So. 2d 688 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1986
Walker appeals from the trial court’s denial of his motion for post conviction relief, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm.
Walker contends that his counsel was ineffective in that he failed to assert two alleged errors in the calculation of Walker’s sentencing guidelines score sheet. We find that the court correctly tallied the score sheet. First, the record demonstrates that Walker was participating in the pretrial intervention program when he committed the offenses herein. Thus, the trial court correctly added thirty points to the score sheet based upon Walker’s legal status at the time of the offense. See Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.701(d)(6). Second, the court properly calculated the victim injury based upon each of the four counts of sexual battery. See The Florida Bar:
Finally,, Walker contends that the trial court sentenced him in his absence. A review of the record reveals that Walker was, in fact, present at his sentencing hearing. Though Walker was not present at a subsequent hearing at which the trial court ruled all of the mandatory minimum sentences would run consecutively, that ruling was later reversed, and his absence did not constitute error. Garcia v. State, 492 So.2d 360 (Fla.1986).
Accordingly, the order denying relief is
Affirmed.
