ANTHONY VALENTINO, A/K/A MICHAEL SENECA, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2000-06-21
No. 4D99-0968
DELL, POLEN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
765 So. 2d 133 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2000) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The state’s motion for certification and motion to stay mandate is granted.

As we did in West v. State, 758 So. 2d 1230 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), and Brooks v. State, 764 So. 2d 648 (Fla. 4th DCA 2000), we certify conflict with our sister courts in Alfonso v. State, 761 So. 2d 1231 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000); Smith v. State, 754 So. 2d 100 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000); and Grant v. State, 745 So. 2d 519 (Fla. 2d DCA), review granted, 761 So. 2d 329 (Fla.2000), on the issue of whether the double jeopardy clause precludes sentencing a defendant as both a prison releasee reoffender and an habitual felony offender. We certify to the Florida Supreme Court as a question of great public importance:

Is it a violation of double jeopardy principles to sentence a defendant under both the Prison Releasee Reoffender Act and the habitual offender statute for the same offense?

Finally, we stay our mandate pending resolution of the certified question by the supreme court.

DELL, POLEN and GROSS, JJ., concur.
