SHAHOOD, Judge.
We vacate appellant’s sentence and remand for resentencing because of an error in the sentencing guidelines scoresheet. With a corrected scoresheet, appellant’s guidelines sentence would be one cell lower. As stated in Sellers v. State, 578 So. 2d 339, 341 (Fla. 1st DCA), approved by, 586 So. 2d 340 (Fla.1991), “when the deletion of improperly included points in the guidelines score results in a reduction of one or more cells, the sentence should be vacated and the cause remanded for resentencing upon a properly calculated scoresheet.” See also Shabazz v. State, 674 So. 2d 920 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996).
Although the sentence imposed by the court on appellant falls within the permitted range of a properly calculated scoresheet, we cannot conclude with any degree of certainty that appellant’s sentence would have been the same if the trial court had used a correctly calculated scoresheet. See Shabazz.
Accordingly, this cause is remanded for resentencing based upon a properly calculated scoresheet.
VACATE AND REMAND.

Lines VAL v. State, 741 So. 2d 1199 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999)…or the attempted murder with a firearm count. Appellee urges, however, that the error is harmless since the sentence imposed falls within the recommended range. Thus, there is no need to remand for re-sentencing. As we concluded in Smith v. State, 685 So. 2d 979 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), although the sentence imposed in this case falls within the permitted range of a properly prepared scoresheet, we cannot conclude with certainty that appellant’s sentence would have been the same if the trial court had used a pr…

Karlynn Blagrove v. Smith, 701 So. 2d 584 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997)…em, Inc., 642 So. 2d 594 (Fla. 4th 1994 DCA), rev. den., 651 So. 2d 1193 (Fla.1995). The request for an independent examination must specify a reasonable place. See Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.360(a)(1)(A). This case is distinguishable from Tsutras v. Duhe, 685 So. 2d 979 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997) where this court quashed an order requiring a nonresident plaintiff from Virginia to travel to Florida to submit to independent examinations. As Hernando County and Hillsborough County are geographically close to one another, the…

Kristopher Goeddel v. Phillip J. Davis, M.D., 993 So. 2d 99 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008)…deposition was primarily caused by Goed-del’s failure to properly respond to discovery requests, we conclude that it was not an abuse of discretion to require the second deposition be taken in Florida. Goeddel also contends that in Tsutras v. Duhe, 685 So. 2d 979 (Fla. 5th DCA 1997), this court determined that a nonresident plaintiff cannot be compelled to submit to a medical examination in Florida. Goeddel misconstrues our decision. In Tsutras, the defendant argued that a nonresident plaintiff was required…
