Head Matter:
Tonee Joeq TAYLOR, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 96-03419.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
April 24, 1998.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Richard J. Sanders, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan D. Dunlevy, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PATTERSON, Acting Chief Judge.
Tonee Taylor appeals from his sentence as a violent career criminal for offenses occurring on February 18, 1996. In Thompson v. State, 708 So.2d 315 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), this court held that chapter 95-182, Laws of Florida, which created violent career criminal sentencing, is unconstitutional as a violation of the single subject rule. Thus, based on Thompson, we reverse Taylor's violent career criminal sentence and remand for resen-tencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect at the time of Taylor's sentencing on July 26, 1996.
Reversed and remanded.
QUINCE and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
