Decided August 24, 2000

Supreme Court of Florida · decided 2000-08-24

Relies on State v. Cotton · 740 So. 2d 20 - Woods v. State · 687 So. 2d 823 - Heuss v. State

Decided 2000-08-24

PER CURIAM.

¶1We have for review the decision in Williams v. State, 751 So.2d 114 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000), in which the First District certified the same question it had certified in Woods v. State, 740 So.2d 20 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const.

¶2We recently approved the First District’s opinion in Woods, holding that the Prisoner Releasee Reoffender Act, as properly interpreted by the First District, does not violate separation of powers, and rejecting other constitutional challenges to the Act. See State v. Cotton, 769 So.2d 345 (Fla.2000). Accordingly, for the reasons expressed in Cotton, we approve the First District’s decision in Williams. We decline to address the other issues raised in this case. See Heuss v. State, 687 So.2d 823, 824 (Fla.1996).

¶3It is so ordered.
