District Court of Appeal of Florida December 18, 1997, No. 96-3901 (Dean v. State)

PER CURIAM.

Willie A. Dean (Dean), in this direct appeal, argues that his seventeen-year sentence for a second-degree felony is illegal. We agree and remand for resentencing.

Dean was originally sentenced to prison for nine years, followed by two years of probation, for sexual battery. After violating his probation, he was subsequently sentenced to seventeen years in prison.
