Morse v. Singletary

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided September 2, 1999

Supreme Court of Florida · decided 1999-09-02

Relies on 739 So. 2d 77 - State v. Trowell · 706 So. 2d 332 - Trowell v. State

Decided 1999-09-02

PARIENTE, J.

¶1We have for review the decision in Morse v. Singletary, No. 98-01279 (Fla. 2d DCA July 21, 1998), which the district court certified to be in conflict with the opinion in Trowell v. State, 706 So.2d 332 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

¶2We recently approved First District’s opinion in Trowellon the issue of what allegations a defendant who pleaded guilty must include in a petition seeking a belated appeal. See State v. Trowell, 739 So.2d 77 (Fla.1999). Accordingly, we quash the decision below on the authority of our *501opinion in Trowell, and remand for farther proceedings in light of that opinion.1

¶3It is so ordered.

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

¶4. The State asserts that sections 924.06(3) and 924.051(4), Florida Statutes (1996), of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act are applicable. However, the district court neither relied upon the Criminal Appeal Reform Act as a basis of its decision nor addressed its applicability. Accordingly, we decline to do so here.
