THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 2022

CASE NO.: SC20-1847 Lower Tribunal No(s).: 131976CF003350B000XX WILLIAM LEE THOMPSON vs. STATE OF FLORIDA Appellant(s) Appellee(s) Appellant’s Motion for Rehearing is hereby denied.

CANADY, C.J., and POLSTON, LABARGA, LAWSON, MUÑIZ, COURIEL, and GROSSHANS, JJ., concur.

LABARGA, J., concurs with an opinion.

LABARGA, J., concurring.

I continue to adhere to my dissent in Thompson v. State, 47 Fla. L. Weekly S99 (Fla. Mar. 31, 2022), wherein I reaffirmed my dissenting view in Phillips v. State, 299 So. 3d 1013 (Fla. 2020), and my belief that Hall v. Florida, 572 U.S. 701 (2014), applies retroactively.

However, I agree that Thompson has not established a basis for rehearing, and consequently, I have voted to deny rehearing. CASE NO.: SC20-1847
