Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (1996)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
Because we conclude that appellant’s internal communications do not rise to the level necessary under Florida’s Whistle Blower’s Act, section 112.3187(5), Florida Statutes (Supp.1992), and that the Lake County personnel to whom appellant expressed his concerns are not within the scope of persons disclosure to whom is protected by section 112.3187(6), we affirm.1
AFFIRMED.
GOSHORN, GRIFFIN and ANTOON, JJ., concur. . It also appears that the claim may be time barred, as urged on appeal by appellee, but this was not an issue raised on motion for summary judgment and accordingly cannot be the basis for upholding the summary judgment.

Perry v. State, 767 So. 2d 1282 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000)…is not in this record. Thus we are unable to determine whether Lawrence is applicable to this case. Accordingly, we remand for [*1284] resentencing, at which the state may present evidence to support the life sentence. See, e.g., State v. MacMillan, 671 So. 2d 893 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996). Failing that, Perry must be given a guidelines sentence within the “bumped-up” recommended range. Sentence VACATED; REMANDED for resentencing. COBB and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.…
