Jones v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Oct 8, 2003
855 So. 2d 715 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2003)

Opinion

Case No. 4D01-4919.

Opinion filed October 8, 2003.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; Richard I. Wennet, Judge; L.T. Case No. 99-2231 CFA02.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Anthony Calvello, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Jeanine M. Germanowicz, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Appellant, Lorenzo Jones, appeals from the order declaring him a sexual predator pursuant to Florida's Sexual Predator Act. Jones argues that the Act violates his right to procedural due process and violates the separation of powers clause of the Florida Constitution. These arguments have recently been addressed by this court in Reyes v. State, No. 4D02-1897 (Fla. 4th DCA Sept. 10, 2003), which held that the Act does not violate these constitutional principles. We, therefore, affirm the order of the trial court declaring Jones a sexual predator.

AFFIRMED.

STONE, HAZOURI and MAY, JJ., concur.

NOT FINAL UNTIL DISPOSITION OF ANY TIMELY FILED MOTION FOR REHEARING.
