State v. Mike

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided June 15, 2000

Supreme Court of Florida · decided 2000-06-15

Relies on 760 So. 2d 89 - Maddox v. State · Mike v. State

Decided 2000-06-15

PER CURIAM.

¶1We have for review Mike v. State, 708 So.2d 1042 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998), wherein the First District certified the following question to be one of great public importance:

WHETHER THE WRONGFUL IMPOSITION OF A PUBLIC DEFENDER’S LIEN CONSTITUTES FUNDAMENTAL ERROR WHICH MAY BE CHALLENGED ON DIRECT APPEAL WITHOUT HAVING BEEN PRESENTED TO THE TRIAL COURT, IN LIGHT OF SECTION 924.051(3), FLORIDA STATUTES (SUPP.1996), AND AMENDED RULE 3.800(B), FLORIDA RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE.

¶2For the reasons expressed in our opinion in Maddox v. State, 760 So.2d 89 (Fla.2000), we answer the certified question in the negative. We quash the decision below and find that the unpreserved sentencing errors asserted in this case do not constitute fundamental error.

¶3It is so ordered.

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