Opinion
Case No. 3D03-1229.
Opinion filed November 5, 2003.
An appeal under Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida, Scott J. Silverman, Judge. Lower Tribunal No.:01-19346.
Alberto Urruchurtu, in proper person.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, for appellee.
Before COPE, SHEVIN, and WELLS, JJ.
The order under review is affirmed. See § 893.135(1)(j), Fla. Stat. (2000). The defendant was charged with, and ultimately convicted of and sentenced for, a crime that he committed on June 20, 2001. That crime and the minimum mandatory sentence that it carried, were first created by chapter 2000-320, section 4, Laws of Florida, page 3497 and became effective October 1, 2000. This amendment was not part of chapter 99-188, Laws of Florida but added entirely new provisions to section 893.135 and thus was not affected by any infirmity in chapter 99-188, by the decision in Taylor v. State, 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), or by enactment of chapter 2002-212, Laws of Florida.
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DISPOSED OF.
