Gian-Cursio v. State
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided October 12, 1966 · Caldwell, Connell, Drew, Ervin, Ret, Roberts, Sebring, Thornal
196 So. 2d 105 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Gian-Cursio v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We granted certiorari and have heard oral argument. The decisions under review are Gian-Cursio v. State, and Epstein v. State, Fla.App., 180 So.2d 396. Our study of the record and briefs leads us to conclude that there is no jurisdictional conflict of decisions and that the writ was therefore improvidently issued and should be discharged. See, Hampton v. State, 50 Fla. 55, 39 So. 421, and, State v. Heines, 144 Fla. 272, 197 So. 787.

It is so ordered.

THORNAL, C. J., and O’CONNELL, CALDWELL, ERVIN and SEBRING (Ret.), JJ., concur. ROBERTS, J., dissents with opinion. DREW, J., dissents and agrees with ROBERTS, J.

Dissenting Opinion

ROBERTS, Justice

(dissenting).

I dissent because of my view the decision under review conflicts with the decision of this Court in Baldor v. Rogers, 81 So.2d 658, 55 A.L.R.2d 453. I would adhere to Baldor and quash the decision now before us.

DREW, J.p, concurs.
