Anderson v. State

Anderson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 6, 2000 · Browning, Ervin, Nortwick
761 So. 2d 1162; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 6794; 2000 WL 718191 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Anderson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). In 1985, the trial court would have had jurisdiction to consider and grant appellant’s motion filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, challenging the improper stacking of his minimum-mandatory sentences for five counts of robbery with a firearm. See Palmer v. State, 438 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1983) (courts may not impose consecutive minimum-mandatory sentences when a firearm is used to commit multiple crimes at the same time and place); Moore v. State, 464 So.2d 1296 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985) (Palmer should be retroactively applied); Bass v. State, 530 So.2d 282 (Fla. 1988) (confirming that Palmer applied to sentences imposed prior to Palmer).

AFFIRMED.

ERVIN, VAN NORTWICK and BROWNING, JJ., CONCUR.
