Synopsis

The appellant appealed his convictions on three issues, challenging two convictions as violating double jeopardy protections. The appellate court affirmed the first two issues without comment and initially affirmed the double jeopardy challenge under Lee v. State, but subsequently applied the Supreme Court's revised standard in Lee II to vacate two convictions while affirming two others.


Holding

The court vacated the convictions in Counts II and IV as violating double jeopardy protections under the revised standard established in Lee II, which requires courts to consider only the charging document to determine whether multiple convictions are based on the same conduct. The convictions in Counts I and III were affirmed.

Opinion of the Court

appellant timely appealed his convictions and raised three issues on appeal. We affirm the first two issues without further comment.

In his third issue, the appellant argued that two of his convictions violated his constitutional right against double jeopardy. Specifically, he argued that use of computer services to solicit a minor (Count IV) was subsumed by traveling to meet a minor (Count I) and that unlawful use of a two-way communications device (Count II) was subsumed by the other three counts. We affirmed these convictions under our decision in Lee v. State, 223 So. 3d 342 (Fla. 1st DCA 2017). In 2018, the Supreme Court quashed our opinion in Lee and held that a reviewing court should only consider the charging document to determine whether multiple convictions for solicitation, unlawful use of a two-way communications device, and traveling were based upon the same conduct for purposes of double jeopardy. Lee v. State, 258 So. 3d 1297 (Fla. 2018) (Lee II). Applying Lee II to this case, the appellant’s convictions in Counts II and IV are VACATED. The appellant’s convictions in Counts I and III are AFFIRMED.
