Rojas v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District
May 18, 1988
523 So. 2d 1179 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1988)

Opinion

No. 87-1329.

March 15, 1988. Rehearing Denied May 18, 1988.

An Appeal from the Circuit Court for Dade County; Henry L. Oppenborn, Judge.

Max P. Engel and Kenneth Speiller, Miami, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Julie S. Thornton, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before BASKIN, FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.


Finding no merit in appellant's contention that the evidence was insufficient to establish his participation in a conspiracy, that the trial court erred in admitting audio tapes into evidence, and that error appeared in the admission of evidence of other crimes, we affirm his convictions of attempt to traffic in cannabis and conspiracy to traffic in cannabis. See United States v. Martin, 794 F.2d 1531 (11th Cir. 1986); Munroe v. State, 514 So.2d 397 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987), review denied, 519 So.2d 987 (Fla. 1988); State v. Morales, 460 So.2d 410 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). The state concedes that appellant's attempted trafficking conviction, incorrectly cited as a first degree felony, should be corrected to appear as a second degree felony. We remand for that purpose.

Affirmed as modified.
