Paul Thompson v. State of Florida

no.02-800
Sumter County



Thompson pled guilty to the felony charge of knowingly driving with a suspended, canceled, or revoked license. He was sentenced to 36 months, but the State successfully appealed on grounds this sentence fell below the guidelines range. At his new sentencing, he received 57.9 months in prison. He later challenged the validity of his sentence, but the trial judge rejected his claim. On appeal, the Fifth District affirmed.
