Moore v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 23, 2000No. 2D96-3595Published

1Per curiam

Appellant challenges his judgment and sentence for possession of a firearm by a violent career criminal imposed pursuant to section 775.084, Florida Statutes (1995), amended by chapter 95-182, Laws of Florida. See Salters v. State, 758 So.2d 667 (Fla.2000). We agree that appellant’s conviction and sentence are unconstitutional, as chapter 95-182 violates the single subject rule contained in article III, section 6, of the Florida Constitution. See State v. Thompson, 750 So.2d 643 (Fla.1999). Appellant’s judgment and sentence are therefore vacated and this case remanded for further proceedings.…
