State v. Sueiro

Supreme Court of Florida
State v. Sueiro, 487 So. 2d 1071 (Fla. 1986)
11 Fla. L. Weekly 213; 1986 Fla. LEXIS 2169
Adkins, Barkett, Boyd, Ehrlich, McDonald, Overton, Shaw

State v. Sueiro

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We review Sueiro v. State, 471 So.2d 1317 (Fla.3d DCA 1985), because of direct and express conflict with State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985). We have jurisdiction, article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution.

The district court below held, inter alia, that sentencing guidelines in effect at the time of sentencing, but not in effect at the time the offense was committed, could not be applied. We quash the portion of the decision so holding on the authority of Jackson and remand for proceedings consistent with this opinion.

It is so ordered.

BOYD, C.J., and ADKINS, OVERTON and McDONALD, JJ., concur. EHRLICH, J., concurs specially with an opinion, in which SHAW, J., concurs. BARKETT, J., concurs specially with an opinion.

Concurring Opinion

EHRLICH, Justice,

concurring specially.

I concur because of this Court’s decision in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985), but I adhere to the views expressed in my dissent therein.

SHAW, J., concurs.

Concurring Opinion

BARKETT, Justice,

concurring specially.

I concur because this case is controlled by the decision of this Court in State v. Jackson, 478 So.2d 1054 (Fla. 1985). I agree, however, with Justice Ehrlich’s dissent in that case which concludes that ex post facto protection should apply to the sentencing guidelines.
