Opinion of the Court

ORFINGER, Judge.

Following plea negotiations, defendant entered a plea of guilty to burglary of a dwelling. The plea negotiations resulted in an agreement for an illegal sentence. “A trial court cannot impose an illegal sentence pursuant to a plea bargain.” Williams v. State, 500 So. 2d 501, 503 (Fla.1986). Therefore, we vacate the sentence and remand for further proceedings.
