Jones v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 24, 1999 · Cope, Nesbitt, Sorondo
744 So. 2d 1250; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 15629; 1999 WL 1062224 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Jones v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. We find the evidence was sufficient to support the defendant’s conviction of attempted robbery with a firearm. We likewise affirm defendant’s sentence as a violent career criminal as against his claim that such a sentence is constitutionally infirm. See Higgs v. State, 695 So.2d 872 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997). Nonetheless, we certify conflict so as to pair the case for review with Thompson v. State, 708 So.2d 315 (Fla. 2d DCA), rev. granted, 717 So.2d 538 (Fla. 1998).

Affirmed.
