PATRICK A. YOUNG, PETITIONER,
v.
RODNEY M. SHOAP, AS SHERIFF OF LEE COUNTY, RESPONDENT

Fla. 2d DCA | 2003-12-22
No. 2D03-5550
ALTENBERND, C.J., and FULMER and DAVIS, JJ., Concur.
862 So. 2d 904 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (2003)


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Patrick A. Young petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. Young is being held without bond on a charge of aggravated stalking, for which he is eligible for pretrial detention under section 907.041(4)(a), Florida Statutes (2002). However, the State has failed to file a motion for pretrial detention pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.132. Rule 3.132(a) states, “If no such motion is filed, or the motion is facially insufficient, the judicial officer shall proceed to determine the conditions of release pursuant to the provisions of rule 3.131(b)(1).” Rule 3.131(b)(1) sets forth the possible conditions of release, none of which include being held without bond. Because the State has failed to file a motion for pretrial detention, we grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus and remand for the trial court to conduct a hearing pursuant to rule 3.131(b)(1) and determine appropriate conditions of release. The trial court is directed to hold the hearing by noon, Wednesday, December 24, 2003. Should the trial court fail to do so, it shall impose the standard bond for a third-degree felony.

Petition granted; remanded with directions.

ALTENBERND, C.J., and FULMER and DAVIS, JJ., Concur.
