SHAWN D. SPENCER,
Petitioner,
vs.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent.
[July 13, 2000]
PER CURIAM.
We have for review Spencer v. State, 712 So. 2d 446 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), a 
decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirming on the authority of its
opinion in Maddox v. State, 708 So. 2d 617 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), approved in
part, disapproved in part, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000).  We have
jurisdiction.  See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418, 420
(Fla. 1981).  
Spencer claims that fundamental sentencing error occurred when he was
-2-
sentenced pursuant to a plea agreement to simultaneous periods of incarceration
and probation.  The State has not responded to these allegations, instead arguing
only that the error is not preserved for appellate review.  Because the merits of the
sentencing error at issue in this case are not adequately briefed, we quash the
decision below and remand for further proceedings in light of our opinion in
Maddox v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000). 
It is so ordered.
