RODGER KEITH EVANS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 2004-07-14
No. 1D03-2155
BOOTH, WEBSTER and DAVIS, JJ., concur.
880 So. 2d 787 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2004) Caution
Cited by 9 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm both issues on appeal. As to the first issue, the jury instructions given in the instant case distinguish it from the case relied on by Appellant, State v. Estevez, 753 So. 2d 1 (Fla.1999). As to the second issue, this argument has previously been rejected by this Court. See Pitts v. State, 855 So. 2d 681 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003); State v. Franklin, 836 So. 2d 1112 (Fla. 3d DCA 2003), review granted 854 So. 2d 659 (Fla.2003). We certify conflict with Taylor v. State, 818 So. 2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), review dismissed 821 So. 2d 302 (Fla.2002).

AFFIRMED.

BOOTH, WEBSTER and DAVIS, JJ., concur.

As is apparent from our analysis above, however, section 766.202(6), which was enacted in 2003, has eliminated the distinction between an expert for presuit purposes and for testifying at trial. Yocom v. Wuesthoff Health Sys., Inc., 880 So. 2d 787 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). Although the incident in this case occurred in 2001, prior to the passage of section 766.202(6), the statute is procedural and therefore applicable here. El Portal v.
