PER CURIAM.
Stephen Cloutier ("Cloutier"), appeals his conviction and sentence for felony battery. We affirm the conviction, but reverse Cloutier's sentence.
The trial judge erred in sentencing Cloutier without first obtaining and considering a presentence investigation report. As a first-time felony offender, Cloutier is entitled to a presentence investigation report before sentencing. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.710; see also Gibson v. State,
