ELECK WILLIAMS, Appellant, vs. THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the judgment of conviction. See Austin v. State, 679 So.2d 1197 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996), review denied, No. 89,382 (Fla. Feb. 13, 1997). However, we reverse defendant's sentence. The court erred in imposing a habitual offender sentence where, as here, the state failed to present sufficient proof that defendant was the person who committed the Georgia offense, which the state submitted as a predicate felony. See Olsen v. State, 22 Fla. L. Weekly D792 (Fla. 3d DCA March 26, 1997)(en banc); Louis v. State, 647 So.2d 324 (Fla. 2d DCA 1994). Accordingly, defendant must be resentenced. At resentencing, the court may reimpose a habitual offender sentence once the state establishes the requisite predicate offenses. Olsen, 22 Fla. L. Weekly at D792; Louis, 647 So.2d at 326.

Conviction affirmed; sentence reversed; and cause remanded.
