MARCO HERNANDEZ, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2017-05-10
No. 3D16-1702
Before ROTHENBERG, SALTER and FERNANDEZ, JJ.
221 So. 3d 699 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2017)


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse in part and affirm in part the order denying the defendant’s post-conviction relief motion. As the State commendably concedes in its response, we reverse and remand with a direction that the court is to resentence the defendant in case numbers F99-2549A and F99-3075B by removing the habitual violent felony offender designation, and by correctly designating the defendant as a habitual felony offender in those cases. Gonzalez v. State, 208 So.3d 143, 147 (Fla. 3d DCA 2016) (“Because the record does not conclusively establish that Gonzalez’s double jeopardy claim has been previously decided on the merits, Gonzalez’s argument has merit.”). The defendant need not be present. Holmes v. State, 100 So.3d 281, 283 n.5 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012).

We affirm the order in all other respects, and reject the defendant’s claim that his sentence in F99-10156B should run concurrently, rather than consecutively, with the sentence in F99-10155B. The court properly made these sentences con-secutivej to satisfy the original, total term of 30 years, as detailed in the 1999 plea agreement and sentence.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.
