Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 10, 1982 · Cowart, Dauksch, Upchurch
409 So. 2d 514; 1982 Fla. App. LEXIS 19221 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Newman v. State

Opinion of the Court

FRANK D. UPCHURCH, Jr., Judge.

Appellant was convicted of uttering a false or forged instrument. He was sentenced to five years on the condition that the sentence “be served consecutively with any other sentence imposed by any other court.” Construing this language as referring only to a sentence already imposed at the time the court entered its judgment, we AFFIRM. See Teffeteller v. State, 396 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981).

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH, C. J., and COWART, J., concur.
