DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA
SECOND DISTRICT
SHANE MICHAEL HANEY,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
No. 2D19-3764
July 7, 2021
Appeal from the Circuit Court for Pasco County; Kimberly
Campbell, Judge.
Howard L. Dimmig, II, Public Defender, and Daniel Muller,
Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
In this Anders1 appeal, Shane Michael Haney argues for
reversal of his mandatory five-year sentence as a prison releasee
reoffender (PRR) for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Because the record fails to support his sentence as a PRR, we
reverse his sentence and remand for resentencing.
During the pendency of this appeal, Haney filed a timely
motion to correct sentencing error under Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.800(b)(2).2 In his motion, Haney argued that although
he had agreed to be sentenced as a PRR as part of his negotiated
plea, he did not stipulate that he qualified as a PRR and that the
State did not prove that he met the statutory requirements for PRR
sentencing. The State conceded that the record did not reflect any
such stipulation or evidence and that, therefore, Haney was entitled
to a resentencing hearing. See Hamilton v. State, 746 So. 2d 512,
514 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999) (reversing for resentencing where the State
1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967).
2 The trial court entered an order dismissing Haney's motion
because it failed to rule on the motion within sixty days. See Fla. R.
Crim. P. 3.800(b)(2)(B) (stating that if the court fails to file an order
ruling on the motion within sixty days the motion is deemed
denied).
2
failed to present proof of the defendant's PRR status and the
defendant did not stipulate that he qualified as a PRR despite his
agreement to be sentenced as a PRR). Accordingly, we reverse
Haney's sentence and remand for resentencing. On remand, the
trial court may again impose a PRR sentence if the State provides
sufficient documentation to prove, or Haney stipulates, that he
qualifies as a PRR. See id.
Reversed and remanded for resentencing.
