Brown v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 3, 2003 · Cope, Green, Nesbitt
853 So. 2d 570; 2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 13199; 2003 WL 22047264 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Brown v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed on authority of State v. Franklin, 836 So.2d 1112 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003) (en banc)1; but nonetheless certify so as to pair them for review with Taylor v. State, 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002); rev. dismissed, 821 So.2d 302 (Fla. 2002).

. Judges Cope and Green dissented.

Concurring Opinion

GREEN, J.

(specially concurring).

The doctrine of stare decisis compels me to join in the affirmance of this cause, but I continue to adhere to the view that Taylor v. State, 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), review dismissed, 821 So.2d 302 (Fla. 2002), was correct in its conclusion that Chapter Law 99-188, Laws of Florida, violates the single subject rule of the Florida Constitution.
