Steele v. State

626 So. 2d 653 (Fla. 1993)

Opinion

No. 81437.

October 28, 1993.

Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Direct Conflict of Decisions, Fifth District — Case No. 92-411 (Marion County).

Lloyd A. Steele, pro se.

Ronald E. Fox, Ronald E. Fox, P.A., Umatilla, for petitioner.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Barbara Arlene Fink, Asst. Atty. Gen., Daytona Beach, for respondent.


We have for review Steele v. State, 616 So.2d 60 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). In rendering its decision, the district court of appeal cited as controlling authority State v. Johnson, 616 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1993), which at the time was still pending on review before this Court. See Steele v. State, 616 So.2d 60 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993) (slip opinion). Johnson was subsequently corrected on denial of rehearing. State v. Johnson, 616 So.2d 1 (Fla. 1993). We therefore find that we have jurisdiction under article V, section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution. See Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418 (Fla. 1981).

On the authority of State v. Johnson, the decision under review is quashed and the case is remanded to the district court for reconsideration in light of our final decision in Johnson.

It is so ordered.

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