JENNIFER MARSHALL, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2008-04-16
No. 4D07-1344
STONE, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.
978 So. 2d 279 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2008) Negative Treatment
Cited by 11 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We dismiss Marshall’s appeal, as her sole claim of error is the denial of a downward departure sentence by the trial court. As we noted in Jorquera v. State, 868 So. 2d 1250, 1253 (Fla. 4th DCA 2004), “The current statutory scheme does not give this court the power to review a trial court’s discretionary decision to deny a downward departure.” See § 924.06(1), Fla. Stat. (2008).

Dismissed.

STONE, WARNER and FARMER, JJ., concur.

We affirm, finding that no issues of arguable merit exist, but we issue this opinion for the limited purpose of receding from our decisions in Jorquera and Marshall v. State, 978 So. 2d 279 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008), where we declined review of trial courts’ discretionary decisions to deny downward departure sentences.
