IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA THIRD DISTRICT JULY TERM, 2001 CHRISTOPHER MCDAVID, ** Appellant, ** vs. ** THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. CASE NO. 3D01-1045 ** LOWER TRIBUNAL NO. 97-3089 ** Opinion filed August 22, 2001. An Appeal under Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Ronald Dresnick, Judge. Christopher McDonald, in proper person. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General. Before JORGENSON, GODERICH and SORONDO, JJ. PARTIAL CONFESSION OF ERROR PER CURIAM. Pursuant to the State's partial confession of error, we reverse the defendant's sentence and remand for the limited purpose of conforming the written sentence to the trial court's oral pronouncements. See State v. Jones, 753 So. 2d 1276, 1277 n.2 (Fla. 2000). Further, the defendant's contention that he is entitled to resentencing under the 1994 guidelines, pursuant to Heggs v. State, 759 So. 2d 620 (Fla. 2000), lacks merit. A review of the record shows that the defendant entered into a voluntary plea for a specific term of imprisonment that is within the allowable 1994 guidelines range and that term was not conditioned upon the sentencing guidelines. See Heggs, 759 So. 2d at 627; Carmona v. State, 763 So. 2d 566 (Fla. 3d DCA), review dismissed, 776 So. 2d 274 (Fla. 2000). Affirmed, in part; reversed, in part, and remanded with directions. 2
