Opinion
Nos. 77-476, 77-505.
June 21, 1977.
Petitions for Writ of Certiorari to Circuit Court, Dade County; Alan R. Schwartz, Judge.
Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Elliot H. Scherker, Asst. Public Defender, for petitioners.
Richard E. Gerstein, State Atty. and Milton Robbins, Asst. State Atty., for respondent.
Before HENDRY, C.J., and PEARSON and BARKDULL, JJ.
We are presented with petitions for certiorari in which the public defender asks that we abrogate Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.111(b) upon the ground that the rule is unconstitutional. We deny certiorari based upon the holding of the United States Supreme Court in Argersinger v. Hamlin, 407 U.S. 25, 92 S.Ct. 2006, 32 L.Ed.2d 530 (1972). Thereupon, certiorari is denied.
