MEMORANDUM OPINION

BUSTAMANTE, Judge.

{1}       Defendant contends that he received an illegal sentence when, following a probation violation, the trial court did not credit him with the time he served while incarcerated on his original sentence. [DS 5] Our notice agreed with Defendant and proposed to reverse and remand for resentencing.

{2}       The State has responded to our notice, indicating that the State does not oppose our proposed disposition. [MIO 2] Additionally, we note that the State suggests that Defendant is entitled to 365 days of credit, as opposed to 364 days, as provided in our notice. [MIO 2; DS 5; CN 2]

{3}       Accordingly, for the reasons detailed in our notice and discussed above, we reverse and remand to the district court for resentencing.

{4}       IT IS SO ORDERED.
