CHEZEM, Presiding Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. The post-convietion court made no finding whether Brooks was in fact on probation at the time he committed the instant offense. I do not think that such a crucial fact should be assumed from an "implied" finding. I would remand this matter to the post-conviction court to make the finding of Brook's probation status.
Assuming the post-conviction court finds Defendant was on probation at the time of the offense, the next inquiry is whether the sentencing decision was based on inaceu-rate information. At that point, Defendant should be granted post-conviction relief in the form of a new sentencing hearing.
