SIDNEY FRANKS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1985-03-27
No. 84-410
GLICKSTEIN and HURLEY, JJ., and GOLDMAN, MURRAY, Associate Judge, concur.
467 So. 2d 400 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1985) Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The dispositive issue on appeal is whether the Supreme Court’s ruling in State v. Neil, 457 So. 2d 481 (Fla.1984), applies to cases tried before September 27, 1984, (the date of Neil’s issuance). Relying on the Supreme Court’s decision in Andrews v. State, 459 So. 2d 1018 (Fla.1984) (applying Neil to a case tried before Sept. 27, 1984), we join the Third District and hold “that Neil governs so-called ‘pipeline’ cases such as this one, in which the issue was properly preserved below and which was pending when Neil was decided.” Jones v. State, 466 So. 2d 301 (Fla. 3d DCA 1985).

Reversed and remanded for new trial.

GLICKSTEIN and HURLEY, JJ., and GOLDMAN, MURRAY, Associate Judge, concur.
