Hepburn v. State
Hepburn v. State
Opinion of the Court
Sheldon Hepburn appeals an order summarily denying his third motion for post-conviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm the order because the motion is impermissibly successive. Indeed, taking judicial notice of our own files, this court has already rejected appellant’s claim that he could not be habitualized for the life felonies on which he entered his guilty plea.
Affirmed.
That is so because in 1995, the legislature amended the habitual offender statute to allow habitualization on a life felony. See ch. 95-182, § 1, Laws of Fla. Appellant committed the crimes involved here after the effective date of the amendment.
