Case Myron Tobler v. State of Florida Court Florida First District Court of Appeal Judge Per Curiam Date Decided June
The Third DCA dismissed a petition for belated appeal from a pro se litigant who had been barred from filing in the trial court under Spencer, explaining that without a lower court order to review, the appellate court lacks jurisdiction — making a trial court filing bar effectively the ‘end of the road.’
The First DCA affirmed the admission of crime scene photographs showing a Confederate flag tag on the defendant’s vehicle, finding no abuse of discretion where the photos were relevant to damage and paint transfer, the tag could not be redacted without losing evidence, and the State did not dwell on the images.
The Fourth DCA reversed three of the defendant’s drug convictions on double jeopardy grounds, holding that simple possession is subsumed by possession with intent to sell, and that identically-charged trafficking counts for the same date violate the prohibition against multiple punishments for the same offense.
The Second DCA affirmed a civil restitution lien of over $547,000 imposed on a prisoner’s civil rights settlement, holding that the sentencing court’s continuing jurisdiction under section 960.292(2) is not subject to the four-year statute of limitations.
The Sixth DCA reversed and remanded where written sentencing orders omitted credit for time served that the trial court orally pronounced, causing combined probation and jail time to exceed the statutory maximum for a third-degree felony.
The Sixth District Court of Appeal affirmed a felon-in-possession conviction, rejecting a facial Second Amendment challenge to section 790.23(1)(a), Florida Statutes, and joining multiple other DCAs in finding the statute constitutional under Bruen.
The Fourth DCA holds that a trial court lacks jurisdiction to rule on a Rule 3.850 postconviction motion filed before resentencing is complete, as finality for 3.850 purposes occurs only after resentencing.
The First DCA affirms a first-degree murder conviction, holding that a trial court’s failure to hold a competency hearing is not fundamental error where the record lacks reasonable grounds to doubt the defendant’s competency.
The First DCA reversed domestic battery by strangulation convictions, holding that an audio recording made by the victim’s minor daughter in the defendant’s home without his consent violated Florida’s wiretap statute (section 934.03) and should have been excluded.
The Third DCA affirmed a habitual violent felony offender sentence, holding that the trial court’s failure to submit prior-conviction findings to a jury under Erlinger v. United States was subject to harmless error review and was harmless where the record unambiguously established qualifying priors.
The Fourth DCA reversed a trial court’s order prohibiting further pro se filings, holding that successive Rule 3.800(a) motions are permitted under Florida law and that the defendant’s new Erlinger challenge to his PRR sentence had not been previously raised.
The Fourth DCA affirmed convictions for sexual battery of a child, holding that a six-person jury was proper where the death penalty was not legally available for the offense at the time it was committed, and rejecting the defendant’s Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment arguments for a twelve-person jury.
