Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 23, 2000 · Casanueva, Davis, Northcutt
779 So. 2d 391; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 7854 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

R.J.H. v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIS, Judge.

R.J.H. appeals the trial court’s adjudication of delinquency for violating Tampa’s juvenile curfew ordinance. See Tampa, Fla., Code § 14-26(c) (1996). We reject R.J.H.’s contention that the ordinance is unconstitutional and affirm under the authority of J.P. v. State, 775 So.2d 324 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000), and State v. T.M., 761 So.2d 1140 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).

We again certify the following questions of great public importance:

WHAT LEVEL OF SCRUTINY MUST .A COURT APPLY WHEN REVIEWING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE?
WHETHER THE TAMPA JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Affirmed.

CASANUEVA, J., concurs. NORTHCUTT, A.C.J., dissents with opinion.
