Valdes v. State

Supreme Court of Florida

Decided May 25, 2000No. SC95427PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Per curiam

We have for review Valdes v. State, 728 So.2d 1225 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999), in which the Third District Court of Appeal held chapter 95-184, Laws of Florida, to be constitutional. We recently reached a contrary result in Heggs v. State, 759 So.2d 620 (Fla.2000). We have jurisdiction. See Art. V, § 3(b)(3), Fla Const. Based on our decision in Heggs, we quash the decision below and remand for resentencing in accordance with the valid laws in effect on July 21, 1996, the date on which Osvaldo Valdes committed the underlying offenses in this case.1

It is so ordered.
