Moreland v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Jan 4, 1984
442 So. 2d 1002 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1984)

Opinion

No. 83-946.

November 16, 1983. As Clarified on Denial of Rehearing January 4, 1984.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, F. Dennis Alvarez, J.

C.A. Van Hook, III, DeLand, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Robert J. Krauss, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of two counts of manslaughter by intoxication for which he received ten years in prison and a consecutive fifteen years on probation. The evidence was sufficient to support the jury verdicts, and appellant's contentions of legal error are unfounded. However, as one of the conditions of probation, the court purported to revoke appellant's driver's license for life. We, therefore, amend the reference to appellant's license to constitute a condition of appellant's probation that during its term he shall not drive a motor vehicle and a recommendation to the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to suspend appellant's driving privileges for such time as appropriate under the law. As so amended, the judgments and sentences are affirmed.

Section 322.28(2)(f), Florida Statutes (Supp. 1982), which contemplates lifetime revocation under some circumstances, was inapplicable because the conduct which led to appellant's conviction occurred before July 1, 1982.

GRIMES, A.C.J., and SCHEB and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
