Supreme Court of Florida

A court may impose incarceration under the sentencing guidelines followed by probation as an habitual offender pursuant to a valid plea agreement, as long as the negotiated sentence does not exceed the statutory minimum for the offense involved, and it is not contrary to law to impose an enhanced sentence for the first time after a violation of probation.
