Tatum v. State

Tatum v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 13, 1999 · Cope, Fletcher, Goderich
741 So. 2d 1266; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 13458; 1999 WL 817828 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Tatum v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Lorenzo Tatum appeals an order denying his motion to correct illegal sentence under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). He argues that he was a juvenile at the time he pled guilty to second degree murder and other crimes in 1993, and contends that his sentence is illegal because the sentencing court did not make findings regarding the necessity of adult sanctions. See § 39.059(7)(d), Fla. Stat. (1991). We reject that claim on authority of Summers v. State, 684 So.2d 729 (Fla. 1996). We find no merit to appellant’s remaining points and reject them without discussion.

Affirmed.
