Smith v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided September 19, 2007

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2007-09-19

Relies on 911 So. 2d 229 - King v. State · 855 So. 2d 1165 - Kidd v. State · Connor v. State

Decided 2007-09-19

PER CURIAM.

¶1The trial court’s order summarily denying Smith’s successive and untimely motion for post-conviction relief is affirmed. Affirmance is without prejudice to Smith’s right to file a separate civil suit seeking injunctive or declaratory relief based on his challenge to his designation as a sexual predator. Connor v. State, 773 So.2d 1242 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000).

¶2We certify conflict with the Second District and the Fifth District on whether a motion for post-conviction relief is a proper vehicle for this challenge. Those two districts have found that rule 3.850 is available. See King v. State, 911 So.2d 229 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005), and Kidd v. State, 855 So.2d 1165 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003).
