SPENCER v. STATE

Supreme Court of Florida.
Jul 13, 2000

PER CURIAM.

We have for review Spencer v. State, 712 So.2d 446 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), a decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirming on the authority of its opinion in Maddox v. State, 708 So.2d 617 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), approved in part, disapproved in part, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, ยง 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981).

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, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000).

It is so ordered.

WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
