579 So. 2d 148 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1991
This cause is before us on a consolidated appeal of appellant’s judgment and sentence in cases 89-442, 89-455, 89-468 and 89-469. Appellant has raised two issues for our consideration, one of which requires discussion.
On August 10,1989, appellant was identified as pawning recently-stolen property
In J.S.H. v. State, 472 So.2d 737 (Fla.1985), the Supreme Court held that in order to support a restitution order, the damage or loss suffered must bear a significant relationship to the offense for which defendant stands convicted. In the instant case, the record fails to establish the necessary causal relationship between the loss suffered in the burglary and the offense for which appellant was convicted. Moton v. State, 554 So.2d 657 (Fla. 1st DCA 1989); Denson v. State, 556 So.2d 823 (Fla. 1st DCA 1990), review dismissed, 562 So.2d 347 (Fla.1990).
Accordingly, the judgment and sentence in case 89-442, 89-455, and 89-469 are affirmed. The judgment in case 89-468 is affirmed, and the sentence is reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
