Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the order denying defendant’s motion to correct illegal sentence. As the state properly concedes, defendant does not qualify for sentencing as a violent career criminal. Accordingly, we vacate defendant’s sentence and remand for re-sentencing without regard to violent career criminal or violent habitual offender sentencing statutes.

Order reversed; sentence vacated.
