Tullis v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal
Tullis v. State, 779 So. 2d 278 (1998)
1998 WL 428806
Casanueva, Frank, Threadgill

Tullis v. State

Opinion of the Court

THREADGILL, Judge.

The appellant entered a non-negotiated plea of guilty to the charge of robbery with a weapon, a first-degree felony. Pursuant to section 775.084(4)(c)l., Florida Statutes (1995), the trial court sentenced the appellant as a violent career criminal to life in prison with a mandatory minimum term of thirty years. The statute, however, does not provide for a mandatory minimum term in the case of a first-degree felony. We therefore strike the mandatory minimum term imposed. We affirm the judgment and life sentence in all other respects.

Affirmed; mandatory minimum stricken.

FRANK, A.C.J., and CASANUEVA, J., concur.
