v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENT

Fla. | 2001-10-04
No. SC00-519
WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS, and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
797 So. 2d 1253 Florida Supreme Court (2001)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We have for review a decision on the following question certified to be of great public importance:

DOES THE PRISON RELEASEE REOFFENDER PUNISHMENT ACT, CODIFIED AS SECTION 775.082(8), FLORIDA STATUTES (1997), VIOLATE THE SEPARATION OF POWERS CLAUSE OF THE FLORIDA CONSTITUTION?

McKinney v. State, 751 So. 2d 766 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. In State v. Cotton, 769 So. 2d 345 (Fla.2000), we answered the certified question in the negative. We therefore discharge jurisdiction.

It is so ordered.

WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS, and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
