685 So. 2d 91 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997)

Opinion

Case No. 95-2751

Opinion filed January 2, 1997

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Barry E. Goldstein, Judge; L.T. Case No. 95-5212.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Aubin Wade Robinson, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm appellant's conviction in all respects, finding no error in any of the issues raised on appeal. We write only to address the constitutional issue raised by appellant.

Specifically, appellant contends that section 948.01(13)(a), Florida Statutes (1993), is unconstitutional on its face as an unlawful delegation of legislative authority to an administrative agency, the Department of Corrections, in violation of article II, section 3, Florida Constitution. Recently, this court addressed this very issue and found the statute to be constitutional. See Tory v. State, No. 94-2085 (Fla. 4th DCA Dec. 26, 1996). Accordingly, we reject appellant's argument.

AFFIRMED.

STONE and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
