MARC JEAN PAUL,  
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
STATE OF FLORIDA,  
Respondent. 
 
[September 1, 2005] 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We have for review the decision in Paul v. State, 838 So. 2d 687 (Fla. 3d 
DCA 2003), which certified conflict with the decisions in Murphy v. State, 773 So. 
2d 1174 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), and Mortimer v. State, 770 So. 2d 743 (Fla. 4th DCA 
2000).  We accept jurisdiction, see art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.  Based upon our 
independent review, as well as the State’s concession of error, we summarily quash 
the decision of the Third District Court of Appeal and remand for reconsideration 
in light of our decision in Banks v. State, 887 So. 2d 1191 (Fla. 2004), to determine 
whether the defendant’s sentence could have been imposed under the 1994 
sentencing guidelines.  
 
It is so ordered.
