BARDWELL v. STATE

No. 92-2362.

617 So.2d 431 (1993)

Tim BARDWELL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

April 28, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Kendall J. Phillips of Phillips & Gale, P.A., Fort Pierce, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

We affirm the conviction of appellant but reverse the sentence because of the trial court's failure to follow the mandatory provisions of section 775.084(3)(a), Florida Statutes (1991), which require the trial court to obtain a presentence investigation prior to sentencing a defendant as an habitual felony offender. While the defendant can knowingly waive the requirement of a P.S.I., see Likely v. State, 583 So.2d 414
