Title:

A.J.N. v. State

Date: Thursday, February 8th, 2007
Case Information:

A.J.N., etc., Petitioner, vs. STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent.

No. SC05-1322

SUPREME COURT OF FLORIDA

February 8, 2007, Decided

NOTICE: [*1] NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION, AND IF FILED, DETERMINED.

PRIOR HISTORY: Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal - Certified Great Public Importance. Fifth District - Case No. 5D04-1646. (Marion County).

COUNSEL: James S. Purdy, Public Defender and Dee R. Ball, Assistant Public Defender, Seventh Judicial Circuit, Daytona Beach, Florida, for Petitioner.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, Florida and Kristen L. Davenport, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, Florida, for Respondent.

JUDGES: LEWIS, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, and QUINCE, JJ., concur. CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur in result only.

OPINION: PER CURIAM.

We have for review A.J.N. v. State, 906 So. 2d 339 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005), in which the Fifth District Court of Appeal cited V.K.E. v. State, 902 So. 2d 343 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005), quashed, 934 So. 2d 1276 (Fla. 2006), and certified the same question as was then pending review in this Court in V.K.E. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(3)-(4), Fla. Const.; Jollie v. State, 405 So. 2d 418 (Fla. 1981).

We have since quashed [*2] V.K.E. and answered the certified question in a manner contrary to the decision presently on review. See V.K.E. v. State, 934 So. 2d 1276 (Fla. 2006). We have thus determined, and respondent agrees, that we should exercise our jurisdiction to grant the petition for review, quash the decision under review, and remand to the Fifth District Court of Appeal for reconsideration upon application of this Court’s decision in V.K.E.

It is so ordered.

LEWIS, C.J., and WELLS, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, and QUINCE, JJ., concur. CANTERO and BELL, JJ., concur in result only.
