Stacey v. Cochran
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 25, 1995 · Glickstein, Klein, Warner
664 So. 2d 974; 1995 Fla. App. LEXIS 9356; 1995 WL 504528 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Stacey v. Cochran

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

At petitioner’s arraignment, the trial court sua sponte increased petitioner’s bond, because the state filed a notice of intent to seek habitual offender status of the petitioner. The trial court ordered the petitioner in custody and gave his attorney only fifteen minutes to prepare for a bond hearing. Since the trial court did not comply with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.131(g) and there is no other provision for the trial court to increase a bond, we grant the writ and remand for proceedings consistent with that rule. See Lambert v. State, 151 So.2d 675 (Fla. 1st DCA 1963).

GLICKSTEIN, WARNER and KLEIN, JJ., concur.
