Heading: is the appellant entitled to a new presentence report?

Text: Appellant Grier argues that it was improper to resentence him without the aid of a new presentence report. We agree. The presentence report, the testimony at the original hearing and the reports prepared for that hearing all appeared to rely on the incorrect listing of prior convictions. This is not a case where a simple updating of a prior presentence report would be adequate. See, e.g., State v. Blier, 113 Ariz. 501, 505, 557 P.2d 1058, 1062 (1976). Nor is this a case where the trial judge does not exercise discretion due to the acceptance of a plea agreement. See State v. McVay, 131 Ariz. 369, 371, 641 P.2d 857, 859 (1982). Rather, in the instant case, the sentencing judge relied on the diagnostic and psychological reports, knowing they were potentially influenced by the erroneous convictions. It is because the judge clearly was influenced by what could be erroneous reports that we vacate the sentence imposed. We have reviewed the record for fundamental error. A.R.S. § 13-4035; Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967); State v. Leon, 104 Ariz. 297, 451 P.2d 878 (1969). We have found none. The memorandum decision of the court of appeals is vacated, the sentences are vacated, and the matter is remanded to the trial court with instructions to resentence the appellant after ordering the preparation of a new presentence report and a presentence hearing pursuant to 17 A.R.S. Rules of Criminal Procedure, rule 26.7. HOLOHAN, C.J., GORDON, Vice Chief Justice, and CAMERON and FELDMAN, JJ., concur.
