Romero v. State
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided April 27, 2000 · Anstead, Harding, Lewis, Pariente, Quince, Shaw, Wells
758 So. 2d 105; 25 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 328; 2000 Fla. LEXIS 800; 2000 WL 488454 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Romero v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have for review Romero v. State, 720 So.2d 1159 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998), which is a per curiam decision citing only to Peart v. State, 705 So.2d 1059 (Fla. 3d DCA 1998). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981).

This Court recently held in Peart v. State, 756 So.2d 42 (Fla. 2000), that a petition for writ of error coram nobis was the proper vehicle for raising a claim that a noncustodial defendant was not advised of the immigration consequences of a plea. We emphasize that all such claims filed subsequent to our decision in Wood v. State, 750 So.2d 592 (Fla. 1999), must be filed pursuant to a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. See Peart, 756 So.2d at 45. Romero is quashed as being inconsistent with our decision in Peart.

It is so ordered.

SHAW, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE and LEWIS, JJ., concur. HARDING, C.J., and WELLS and QUINCE, JJ., dissent.
