CRAIG v. STATE (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Paul A. CRAIG, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D19-4389

Decided: January 15, 2021

Paul A. Craig, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Jovona I. Parker, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Paul A. Craig filed a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) to strike from his sentence his designation as a dangerous sexual felony offender pursuant to section 794.0115, Florida Statutes (2005). Craig alleged that he did not meet the qualifying criteria for that designation. We agree and reverse the trial court's ruling denying the motion. We remand with directions to strike the portion of the sentencing order designating Craig a dangerous sexual felony offender. The judgment and sentence are otherwise unaltered. Appellant need not be present for the correction of the error.

Per Curiam.

Rowe, Winokur, and Nordby, JJ., concur.
