STATE v. RAIRDON (1998)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Second District.

STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Jeffrey RAIRDON, Appellee.

No. 98-01445.

Decided: November 06, 1998

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Erica M. Raffel, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant. Larry Sandefer, Clearwater, for Appellee.

The State appeals the order of the trial court granting the motion to dismiss filed by the appellee, Jeffrey Rairdon. The trial court stated that a driver's license was not required to operate a moped under section 322.34, Florida Statutes (1995), and granted appellee's motion to dismiss. However, this court held that a moped is a motor vehicle, the operation of which requires a driver's license under chapter 322. See Jones v. State, 23 Fla. L. Weekly D2097, 721 So.2d 320 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998).

We, therefore, reverse the trial court's order granting the appellee's motion to dismiss and remand for further proceedings consistent herewith.

PER CURIAM.

PATTERSON, A.C.J., and WHATLEY and GREEN, JJ., concur.
