Docket No. 57511.

Jones v. State

Calvin Cooley JONES, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided October 2, 1980.

Supreme Court of Florida · decided 1980-10-02

Relies on 383 So. 2d 219 - Eutsey v. State

Decided 1980-10-02

¶1Joseph D. Lorenz of Lorenz, Lungstrum & Heflin, Fort Walton Beach, for appellant.

¶2Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Miguel A. Olivella, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4This cause is before us on direct appeal from the circuit court in and for Okaloosa County because the trial court upheld the constitutionality of section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1977). The trial court's ruling upholding the constitutionality of section 775.084 is consistent with our holding in Eutsey v. State,383 So.2d 219 (Fla. 1980). We hold that the constitutional issue is now legally frivolous and therefore transfer the case to the District Court of Appeal, First District, for consideration of the remaining points on appeal.

¶5It is so ordered.

¶6SUNDBERG, C.J., and ADKINS, BOYD, OVERTON, ENGLAND, ALDERMAN and McDONALD, JJ., concur.
