State v. Kelly
State v. Kelly
98 So. 3d 198; 2012 WL 4221169; 2012 Fla. App. LEXIS 15866
(Southern Reporter, Third Series)
State v. Kelly
Opinion of the Court
The State appeals the dismissal of an information filed against Kipp Karson Kelly charging him with possession of a controlled substance. The trial court dismissed the information based on its finding that section . 893.13, Florida Statutes (2011), was unconstitutional pursuant to Shelton v. Secretary, Department of Corrections, 802 F.Supp.2d 1289 (M.D.Fla. 2011), rev’d, 691 F.3d 1348 (11th Cir. 2012). Because the Florida Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of section 893.13 in State v. Adkins, 96 So.3d 412 (Fla. 2012), we reverse the order of dismissal and remand with instructions that the trial court reinstate the charges against Mr. Kelly.
