1. “a later decision by the court to transfer the defendant to the Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services after five years of hospitalization, pursuant to the Baker Act, section 394.467, Florida Statutes (1991), does not divest the court of jurisdiction over the person and it may amend the commitment order to require that the administrator of the H.R.S. facility comply with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.213(b), which mandates that the State Attorney of the committing circuit be notified no less than thirty days prior to the anticipated date of release of the defendant. Cuervo, 603 So.2d at 654 . Based on controlling case law, such as Jackson, Jones, and Trippodo , which the Cuervo decision failed to cite, we find that Cuervo was incorrectly decided. We, therefore, recede from any portion of Cuervo that is inconsistent with this opinion.”
