Stephens v. State

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided September 28, 1989No. 71578Published

1Per curiam

We accepted jurisdiction to review Stephens v. State, 513 So.2d 1275 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987), because of apparent conflict with Gurganus v. State, 451 So.2d 817 (Fla.1984), concerning the defense of diminished capacity. Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla. Const. After we accepted jurisdiction, however, we settled the issue in Chestnut v. State, 538 So.2d 820 (Fla.1989). As the opinion in the court below is consistent with Chestnut, we dismiss the petition for review.

It is so ordered.
