Footnotes
1 Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738 (1967). 2 of 2 (Fla. 1991), reveals no meritorious point which might support reversal of the conviction and sentence. Notwithstanding such, the Court notes that Appellant’s sentence includes a special condition of probation of no early termination, which was not pursuant to a negotiated plea with the State. Though this provision does not warrant reversal, this opinion should not be construed as an endorsement of its enforceability. The judgment and sentence below are AFFIRMED.
