Hicks v. State

Supreme Court of Florida

572 So. 2d 1378 (Fla. 1991)

Opinion

No. 75742.

January 3, 1991.

Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Statutory Validity; Second District — No. 88-02926 (Hillsborough County).

Manuel A. Machin, Tampa, for petitioner.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen. and Carol M. Dittmar, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for respondent.


We have for review State v. Hicks, 558 So.2d 59 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990), in which the district court reversed the trial court's determination that section 796.01 of the Florida Statutes (1987), was unconstitutional based on State v. Warren, 558 So.2d 55 (Fla. 2d DCA 1990). We have jurisdiction pursuant to article V, section 3(b)(3) of the Florida Constitution. In Warren v. State, 572 So.2d 1376 (Fla. 1991), however, we found section 796.01 unconstitutionally vague. Therefore, we quash Hicks and remand to the district court to affirm the trial court's dismissal of the information.

It is so ordered.

SHAW, C.J., and OVERTON, McDONALD, EHRLICH, GRIMES and KOGAN, JJ., concur.
