PER CURIAM.
After careful consideration of Appellant’s motions, we
withdraw our opinion dated May 26, 2020, and grant Appellant’s
Motion for Rehearing. Accordingly, the cause is remanded to the
trial court for resentencing in accordance with the Florida
Supreme Court’s original mandate instructing this Court that “the
case be further remanded for resentencing in conformance with
sections 775.082, 921.1401, and 921.1402 of the Florida Statutes.
See Atwell v. State, 197 So. 3d 1040 (Fla. 2016).” Bonifay v. State,
2016 WL 7212327 (Fla. Dec. 13, 2016). In light of our decision, we
deny Appellant’s motions for rehearing en banc and for
certification.
REVERSED and REMANDED for resentencing.
LEWIS, WINOKUR, and JAY, JJ., concur.
