Sowers v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
Jul 17, 1980
386 So. 2d 245 (Fla. 1980)

Opinion

No. 58238.

July 17, 1980.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Orange County; Richard B. Keating, Judge.

Harry W. Carls III, Public Defender, and Glenn Klausman, Asst. Public Defender, Orlando, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and C. Michael Barnette, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for appellee.


The present case is before the Court on appeal from a trial court order upholding the constitutionality of section 39.04(2)(e)4. Having recently upheld this statute's validity, State v. Cain, 381 So.2d 1361 (Fla. 1980), we find the constitutional issue to be frivolous. This case is transferred to the District Court of Appeal, Fifth District, for resolution of the remaining issues raised on appeal.

It is so ordered.

SUNDBERG, C.J., and OVERTON, ENGLAND, ALDERMAN and McDONALD, JJ., concur.

BOYD, J., concurs in part and dissents in part with an opinion.

ADKINS, J., dissents.


I concur with holding the statute constitutional, but I would decide all other issues also to conserve time and judicial labor.
