Goodwin v. Lawrence

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
Aug 23, 1990
566 So. 2d 50 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 90-1917.

August 23, 1990.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Murray Goldman, Judge.

Kurt R. Klaus, Miami, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Anita J. Gay, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and COPE, JJ.


CORRECTED OPINION


We treat the petition for habeas corpus as an appeal from the judgment of contempt. As it appears the purge amount is manifestly incorrect, we reverse the judgment, and remand to fix the correct amount. This removes the basis of the appellant's imprisonment and thus effects his release pending further proceedings. No motion for rehearing will be entertained.
