OPINION ON REMAND FROM THE FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
PER CURIAM.
The Florida Supreme Court has quashed the decision in this
case and remanded with instructions that we reconsider the
matter in light of its recent decision in Gaymon v. State, 288 So. 3d
1087 (Fla. 2020).
In Gaymon, the Florida Supreme Court held that โthe proper
remedy for harmful error resulting from the court, not the jury,
finding the fact of dangerousness under section 775.082(10) is to
remand for resentencing with instructions to either impose a
nonstate sanction of up to one year in county jail or empanel a jury
to make the determination of dangerousness, if requested by the
State.โ Id. at 1089โ90.
Accordingly, we reverse Appellantโs sentence and remand to
the trial court for resentencing in accordance with Gaymon.
REVERSED and REMANDED.
ROBERTS, OSTERHAUS, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
