State v. Miller

Supreme Court of Florida February 24, 2000

State v. Miller, 753 So. 2d 1257 (Fla. 2000)

25 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 171; 2000 Fla. LEXIS 118; 2000 WL 205190

Anstead, Harding, Lewis, Pariente, Quince, Shaw, Wells

Opinion of the Court

LEWIS, J.

We initially accepted for review the decision in Miller v. State, 723 So.2d 353 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), based on alleged express and direct conflict with the decision in Rotenberry v. State, 468 So.2d 971 (Fla. 1985). Upon closer examination, we find that review was improvidently granted. Further, after the Fourth District issued its decision in Miller, the defendant pled guilty to the underlying charges and was sentenced on remand. Therefore, the substantive issue to be addressed in this case is now moot.1 Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review.

It is so ordered.

State, 753 So.2d 1264 (Fla. 2000).
