Arguelles v. State
Supreme Court of Florida · Decided August 22, 2002 · Anstead, Harding, Lewis, Pariente, Quince, Shaw, Wells
825 So. 2d 342; 27 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 708; 2002 Fla. LEXIS 1756; 2002 WL 1926530 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Arguelles v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We have for review Arguelles v. State, 791 So.2d 500 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001), a decision relying on Banks v. State, 755 So.2d 142 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), quashed, 790 So.2d 1094 (Fla. 2001), which was pending review in this Court at the time of the district court’s decision in this case. We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution.

We recently quashed the decision in Banks. See Banks v. State, 790 So.2d 1094 (Fla. 2001). While the extent of the district court’s reliance on Banks is not entirely clear, we conclude that, because of the express reliance, we should vacate the decision and direct the district court to reconsider its decision in light of our opinion in Banks. Such reconsideration should be without prejudice to the parties providing additional briefing to the district court on the effect of our decision in Banks on this case.

Accordingly, we quash the decision under review and remand for further proceedings in accord herewith.

It is so ordered.

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