Cornet v. State (791 So. 2d 593, 2001)

PER CURIAM.

Pursuant to the state’s proper confession of error, we reverse the order denying defendant’s motion to correct illegal sentence. A crime committed subsequent to the one for which defendant is being sentenced cannot serve as a qualifying felony for purposes of imposing a habitual offender sentence. Johnson v. State, 752 So.2d 702 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000). Thus, defendant lacks the requisite predicate offenses to qualify as a habitual violent felony offender. Furthermore, the record does not disclose predicate offenses sufficient to qualify defendant as a habitual felony offender. § 775.084(5), Fla. Stat. (1993); Rhodes v. State, 704 So.2d 1080 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). Therefore, we vacate defendant’s sentence in case number 94-29721, and remand for resentencing.

Order reversed; sentence vacated; cause remanded.
