Opinion
No. 98-2844
Opinion filed June 25, 1999.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County, L. Haldane Taylor, Judge.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Stephen R. White, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellant.
Glen P. Gifford, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Appellee Daniel Nix was arrested as a result of his escape from the Dinsmore Community Correction Center in Duval County. Accordingly, the trial court was correct in finding the State exceeded the 175-day speedy trial period, and therefore, committed no error in ordering appellee's discharge on procedural speedy trial grounds. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.191(d)(1998).
AFFIRMED.
BARFIELD, C.J., KAHN and DAVIS, JJ., CONCUR.
