Norvil v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided March 12, 2014No. 4D11-1740PublishedCited by 12 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

EN BANC

TAYLOR, J.

Defendant, Sidney Norvil, appeals an order of the trial court denying his motion to withdraw his plea after sentencing and to vacate his sentence. We affirm the order as to the plea withdrawal because the record conclusively shows that the plea was entered into knowingly, freely, and voluntarily without any competency issues. We also affirm the defendant’s sentence, but we write to address his argument that the trial court improperly considered subsequent charges pending against him at sentencing. To clarify the law on this issue, we have elected to consider this case en banc.
