EUGENE WICKLINE, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1997-01-31
No. 96-3146
MINER, ALLEN and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
687 So. 2d 327 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1997) Caution
Cited by 8 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Eugene Wicldine challenges an order denying his motion, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 8.800(a), to correct an illegal sentence. We affirm but certify conflict to the Florida Supreme Court.

This court has previously held that the issue raised by appellant in his motion, i.e., whether the trial court established a factual basis for this plea (specifically, whether he was in actual possession of the firearm during the commission of the crime), and as a result, erroneously imposed a three-year minimum mandatory sentence, is not cognizable in proceedings brought pursuant to rule 3.800(a). Nowlin v. State, 639 So. 2d 1050 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). We acknowledge that the Second District Court of Appeal has held to the contrary in Butchek v. State, 686 So. 2d 21 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996). Pursuant to Article V, section 3(b)(3), of the Florida Constitution, we certify conflict with this decision.

Appellant’s second point is without merit.

AFFIRMED.

MINER, ALLEN and MICKLE, JJ., concur.
