Friss v. State

Friss v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 6, 1998 · Dauksch, Griffin, Peterson
720 So. 2d 293; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 14046; 1998 WL 769804 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Friss v. State

Opinion of the Court

GRIFFIN, Chief Judge.

Appellant seeks review of a denial of a petition for writ of habeas corpus. The only argument raised by appellant that is arguably cognizable by habeas corpus is his contention that the offense of which he was convicted cannot be punished by incarceration. The lower court pointed out in its order, however, that a violation of section 741.31(4), Florida Statutes, is a first-degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail. The petition for writ of habeas corpus was properly denied.

AFFIRMED.

DAUKSCH and PETERSON, JJ., concur.
