Puckett v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
Apr 25, 1978
357 So. 2d 169 (Fla. 1978)

Opinion

No. 51833.

March 9, 1978. Rehearing Denied April 25, 1978.

Writ of Certiorari to the District Court of Appeal, First District, 345 So.2d 829.

Barry W. Beroset of Murphy Beroset, Pensacola, for petitioner.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and A.S. Johnston, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for respondent.


The petition for writ of certiorari reflected apparent jurisdiction in this Court. Certiorari was granted, without argument, based on an apparent decisional conflict with Febre v. State, 158 Fla. 853, 30 So.2d 367 (1947), and Douglas v. State, 152 Fla. 63, 10 So.2d 731 (1942). Upon further consideration of the matter and review of the record, we have determined that the facts of the present case are materially different from those involved in the cited decisions. Therefore, the cited decisions present no direct conflict as required by Article V, Section 3(b)(3), Florida Constitution, and the writ must be and is hereby discharged.

It is so ordered.

OVERTON, C.J., and BOYD, ENGLAND and SUNDBERG, JJ., concur.

ADKINS, J., dissents.
