District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Jun 21, 2000
779 So. 2d 384 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 2D97-2347

Opinion filed June 21, 2000.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Chet A. Tharpe, Judge.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and Kevin Briggs, Assistant Public Defender, Bartow, for Appellant.

Robert A Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Susan D. Dunlevy, Tampa, for Appellee.


Appellant's sole contention is that the 1995 sentencing guidelines, under which he was sentenced for crimes occurring on March 11, 1997, are unconstitutional because the legislature's enactment of chapter 95-184, Laws of Florida violated the single-subject provision of Article III, Section 6, of the Florida Constitution. We agree and remand for reconsideration of sentence in accordance with Heggs v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S137 (Fla. Feb. 17, 2000), revised by 25 Fla. L. Weekly S359 (Fla. May 4, 2000), and our recent opinion in Smith v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly D1273 (Fla. 2d DCA May 24, 2000).

PARKER, A.C.J., and BLUE and CASANUEVA, JJ., Concur.
