Johns v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Apr 20, 1976
330 So. 2d 526 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1976)

Opinion

No. AA-130.

April 20, 1976.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Duval County, J. Donald Bruce, J.

Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and Michael J. Minerva, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn M. Snurkowski, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.


By this appeal appellant challenges the judgment and sentence of the trial court which followed a bargained plea of guilty. Although appellant and his attorney specifically waived a presentence investigation, appellant now contends that the trial judge fatally erred in failing to comply with Rule 3.710 RCrP, thus squarely presenting the point which we anticipated but did not specifically answer in Mitchum v. State, Fla. App. 1st, 1974, 292 So.2d 620, viz: Whether compliance with said rule may be waived. We hold that it may.

AFFIRMED.

RAWLS and McCORD, JJ., concur.
