Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Gipson v. State, 616 So. 2d 992 (Fla.1993); State v. McCloud, 577 So. 2d 939 (Fla.1991); Castle v. State, 330 So. 2d 10 (Fla.1976); Boyd v. State, 880 So. 2d 726 (Fla. 2d DCA), review denied, 888 So. 2d 621 (Fla.2004); Cook v. State, 816 So. 2d 773 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); Ishmael v. State, 735 So. 2d 509 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999); Plowman v. State, 586 So. 2d 454 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991); Middleton v. State, 721 So. 2d 792 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998).

After this court held in Boyd, 880 So. 2d at 728, that a claim of vindictive sentencing is not cognizable in a motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), the Fifth District in Johnson v. State, 877 So. 2d 795 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004), reversed a circuit court order denying a rule 3.800(a) motion and remanded for consideration of the claim of vindictive sentencing raised in the motion. We certify direct conflict with Johnson.

Affirmed; conflict certified.

    …for appellee should be affirmed under a “constructive trust theory of recovery.” However, a constructive trust is not a traditional cause of action, but an equitable remedy that must be based upon an established cause of action. Collinson v. Miller, 903 So. 2d 221, 228 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). Because appellee cannot advance the theory of unjust enrichment for recovery, it has no constructive trust remedy. Accordingly, we reverse the judgments against appellants for unjust enrichment and remand with directions tha…

However, both San-dler and Bruns involved the imposition of a constructive trust, an equitable remedy. See Collinson v. Miller, 903 So. 2d 221, 228 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). The essence of Sandler and Bruns is that where one joint owner of funds has wrongfully transferred money from a joint account, the other joint owner may seek the imposition of a constructive trust over the transferred funds…

In 2005, this court held that “[a] constructive trust ... is not a traditional cause of action; it is more accurately defined as an equitable remedy.” Collinson v. Miller, 903 So. 2d 221, 228 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). Therefore, “[b]ecause a constructive trust is a remedy, it must be imposed based upon an established cause of action.” Id.
