Hope v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

805 So. 2d 51 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

No. 4D00-2334

Opinion filed December 26, 2001

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Ronald J. Rothschild, Judge; L.T. Case No. 99-6562 CF10A.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, Steven H. Malone and Nan Ellen Foley, Assistant Public Defenders, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Daniel P. Hyndman, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Appellant, Anthony Hope, appeals from a judgment and sentence on the charge of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver/sale. He raises three issues, the first two of which we affirm without discussion.

Appellant's third issue is that his sentence under the criminal punishment code is unconstitutional on its face and as applied where it violates principles of uniform sentencing, due process, double jeopardy, right to appeal, equal protection, separation of powers, and cruel and/or unusual punishment. We affirm on the authority of Hall v. State, 767 So.2d 560 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), review granted, 790 So.2d 1104 (Fla. 2001); Peterson v. State, 775 So.2d 376 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000); see also Bush v. State, 776 So.2d 1081 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001).

AFFIRMED.

POLEN, C.J., and KLEIN, J., concur.
