No. 1D00-2030
BARFIELD, C.J., WOLF and POLSTON, JJ., concur.

Cited by 14 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The state challenges the sentence imposed on appellant for the crime of possession of a firearm by a felon. The state correctly asserts that the trial judge erred in sentencing appellant to a term of probation, contrary to section 775.087, Florida Statutes (1999). State v. Haddad, 750 So. 2d 139 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000). Accordingly, we reverse and remand with directions that the trial judge resentence appellant consistent with the statutory mandate of a three-year minimum mandatory prison term.

BARFIELD, C.J., WOLF and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
