Head Matter:
David Wesley ROY v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 97-4573.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
June 15, 1998.
Larry D. Simpson and John M. Kvartek of Kitchen, Judkins, Simpson & High, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Robert A, Butterworth, Attorney General, Trisha E. Meggs, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
On this appeal from an order ruling on a motion to correct sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), we reverse and remand with directions to hold a new sentencing hearing, at which appellant has the right to be present.
The trial court granted appellant's 3.800(a) motion in part, finding that his scoresheet was incorrect, and that he was entitled to a reduction of points based upon a vacated conviction and a conviction for a lesser included offense. This resulted in a reduced sentencing range, which required resentenc-ing with a corrected scoresheet. The court, however, immediately resentenced appellant without holding a sentencing hearing, which was error. See Burrows v. State, 649 So.2d 902 (Fla. 1st DCA 1995); Shabazz v. State, 674 So.2d 920 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996). And see Phillips v. State, 705 So.2d 1320 (Fla.1997) (resentencing is an entirely new proceeding and trial court is under no obligation to make the same findings).
REVERSED and REMANDED for resen-tencing.
ERVIN and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
