Brown v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 21, 1984 · Guyte, McCord, Mills, Ret, Wentworth
447 So. 2d 321; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 12004 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Brown v. State

Opinion of the Court

MILLS, Judge.

This case is before us on appeal pursuant to Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396, 18 L.Ed.2d 493 (1967). One of the convictions for which Brown was sentenced involved a robbery in which he used a knife as a weapon (Case No. 82-6820-CF). Since the robbery did not involve the use of a firearm, the trial court’s imposition of the three-year mandatory minimum sentence authorized by Section 775.087(2), Florida Statutes (1981), was improper and is stricken. In all other respects, the convictions and sentences are AFFIRMED.

WENTWORTH, J„ and McCORD, GUYTE, P., Jr., (Ret.), Associate Judge, concur.
