Gilmore v. State

Opinion of the Court

OVERTON, Justice.

We have for review Gilmore v. State, 597 So.2d 374 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992), in which the district court addressed the same question we recently answered in State v. Johnson, 616 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1993).1 In accordance with our decision in Johnson, we quash, in part, the decision of the district court in the instant case. Nevertheless, we approve Gilmore’s sentence. The record in this case reflects that none of the amendments to section 775.084, Florida Statutes, contained in chapter 89-280 affected Gilmore’s sentence. Consequently, we approve the result of the district court's decision because Gilmore’s sentence is not altered by our decision in Johnson. We decline to address the other issue raised by Gilmore.

It is so ordered.

BARKETT, C.J., and McDONALD, SHAW, GRIMES, KOGAN and HARDING, JJ., concur.

. We have jurisdiction. Art. V, § 3(b)(3)-(4), Fla. Const.
