Cited by 8 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court’s order of dismissal with prejudice because we believe the appellant’s complaint contained sufficient allegations to excuse her failure to request the corporation’s directors to proceed against appellee Dover. See Belcher v. Schilling, 309 So. 2d 32, 35 (Fla. 3d DCA 1975); Orlando Orange Groves Co. v. Hale, 119 Fla. 159, 161 So. 284, 288 (1935); and Greenspun v. Del. E. Webb Corp., 634 F. 2d 1204 (9th Cir.1980).

ANSTEAD and STONE, JJ., concur. DELL, J., dissents without opinion.

State, 531 So. 2d 203 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988). For this error, also, appellant must be resentenced. Third, appellant argues that the court erred in declaring him to be a sexual predator.

    …ple appeals. Thus, we hold that a trial court may not enunciate new reasons for a departure sentence after the reasons given for the original departure sentence have been reversed by an appellate court.

State, 531 So. 2d 203 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988), concluding that a trial court, after a reversal by this court for an invalid departure sentence, was prohibited from providing any new reasons to exceed the original recommended sentence. Therefore, it is very important that the…
