Crawford v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Jun 8, 2000
763 So. 2d 1240 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 1D99-2675

Opinion filed June 8, 2000.

An appeal from Circuit Court for Escambia County, John T. Parnham, Judge.

Nancy A. Daniels, Public Defender, and Glen P. Gifford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Daniel A. David, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.


The appellant challenges sentences imposed upon a revocation of probation. Because the probation was part of a true split sentence as described in State v. Powell, 703 So.2d 444 (Fla. 1997), and Poore v. State, 531 So.2d 161 (Fla. 1988), by which incarcerative terms were imposed and suspended, the incarcerative sentences which may be imposed upon revocation are limited to the incarcerative terms which had been suspended. See Poore; Stoutamire v. State, 734 So.2d 468 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). As the state properly concedes, the trial court had no greater sentencing authority merely because the suspension may have been conditioned on entry into or completion of a treatment program, even if the appellant may have satisfied this requirement. The challenged sentences are therefore vacated, and the case is remanded for resentencing.
