Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Miller Baldwin challenges the trial court's denial of his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a).
Baldwin was sentenced to twenty-two years imprisonment for second degree murder. In his 3.800(a) motion, Baldwin contends that his sentence is illegal on the basis that his scoresheet was improperly scored as to the primary offense and his prior record. Baldwin specifically contends that his second degree murder count was scored as a "life felony" rather than a felony punishable by life. See Dunn v. State, 522 So.2d 41 (Fla. 5th DCA 1988). Appellant further contends that his prior record of aggravated assault and possession of a weapon, not a firearm, should have been scored as third degree felonies rather than second degree felonies.
If appellant's assertions are true, his sentencing range would have been altered by one cell. If a sentence correction brought about by guideline errors results in a lower cell, reconsideration of the sentence is required even if, after the reduction, the defendant's sentence lies in the permitted range. Terrell v. State, 668 So.2d 656 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996).
The trial court must resentence Baldwin using a corrected scoresheet, unless after reviewing the record or conducting an evi-dentiary hearing, it determines that the correct points were scored as to the primary offense and the prior record. If the trial court again denies Baldwin's motion, it must attach portions of the record conclusively refuting Baldwin's contentions. Fla. RApp. P. 1.940(g). We therefore, REVERSE and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
MINER, ALLEN and WEBSTER, JJ., concur.
