Bishop v. State
Bishop v. State
Opinion
Waymon Bishop appeals the trial court’s November 18, 2013 order denying his motion to clarify his sentences in lower tribunal case number 90-14763-A. 1 This court has considered Bishop’s motion as filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a).
The order on review states, in pertinent part, “[I]n 2001, pursuant to the Jimmy Ryce act [sic] the defendant was found to *1277 be a sexual predator” in lower tribunal case number 01-10787.
The State concedes that it dismissed its petition to have Bishop declared a sexual predator under the Jimmy Ryce Act in lower tribunal case number 01-10787. 2
Accordingly, we remand for the limited purpose of striking the sexual predator language from the trial court’s November 18, 2018 order. 3
Remanded with directions.
. In lower tribunal case number 90-14763-A, Bishop was sentenced to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to kidnapping, false imprisonment, and seven counts of sexual battery.
. The State had sought to have Bishop committed under the Jimmy Ryce Act as a sexually violent predator in lower tribunal case number 01-10787. According to the State, however, after Bishop received a life sentence in an unrelated case (lower tribunal case number 98-41196), the State dismissed its Jimmy Ryce Petition. Bishop's life sentence in lower tribunal case number 98-41196 was subsequently reduced to twenty years.
. We note that Bishop's convictions may qualify him as a "sexual offender” under section 943.0435, Florida Statutes; that issue, however, is not-before us.
