Head Matter:
James HUTCHINSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 4D07-3062.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
April 16, 2008.
James Hutchinson, Zephyrhills, pro se.
Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Melanie Dale Surber, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
We reverse the denial of a motion to correct an illegal sentence because the permitted sentencing ranges, which were adopted effective July 1, 1988, see Puffinberger v. State, 581 So.2d 897, 900 (Fla.1991), cannot be applied to Defendant's guidelines sentence for count II, which was committed on May 24, 1987.
Defendant appears to have been sentenced to a term of years that could not have been imposed with a corrected score-sheet, a situation which meets the requirement for relief pursuant to rule 3.800(a). Brooks v. State, 930 So.2d 835 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006), approved, 969 So.2d 238 (Fla.2007).
We agree with the state that the case must be remanded to the trial court for the preparation of a corrected scoresheet for count II and a determination of whether Defendant still would qualify for the same sentence. We reverse and remand for that purpose.
Reversed and Remanded.
STONE and FARMER, JJ., concur.
WARNER, J., concurs specially with opinion.
