Sabin v. Butter

Florida District Courts of Appeal March 11, 1986

Sabin v. Butter, 493 So. 2d 469 (1986)

11 Fla. L. Weekly 625; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 6853

Ferguson, Nesbitt, Pearson

Opinion of the Court

FERGUSON, Judge.

We agree with the first and second districts1 that Florida’s so-called “civil death” *470statute, section 944.292, Florida Statutes (1985), to the extent that it deprives a person convicted of a crime of bringing or defending a civil action in the courts of this state until his civil rights are restored, is unconstitutional.

The motion to dismiss the appeal of appellant Robert Sabin is denied.
