Opinion

Case No. 5D02-2223.

Opinion filed April 17, 2003.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for St. Johns County, Robert K. Mathis, Judge.

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Nancy Ryan, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Judy Taylor Rush, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

THOMPSON, C.J.

Larry Sublett appeals an order denying his motion for specific performance of his plea bargain or extraordinary relief. We affirm.

After serving his sentence, Sublett was retained in custody pursuant to the Jimmy Ryce Act.¹ He brought the motion at issue to force the state to comply with the agreement under which he pleaded guilty to a sexual battery and other crimes in exchange for a sentence of 25 years. Three days after he filed his initial brief, the supreme court issuedMurray v. Regier, 27 Fla. L. Weekly S1008 (Fla. Dec. 5, 2002), in which the court stated, "any bargain a defendant may strike in a plea agreement in a criminal case could have no bearing on a subsequent involuntary commitment under the Jimmy Ryce Act." We affirm the order denying relief based on Murray. See also Satz v. Runion, 28 Fla. L. Weekly D626 (Fla. 4th DCA Mar. 5, 2003).

1 §§ 394.910-.931, Florida Statutes (2000).

AFFIRMED.
