LAWSON v. STATE (2018)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Avion LAWSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D17-3671

Decided: August 22, 2018

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Benjamin Eisenberg, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Heidi L. Bettendorf, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Affirmed. See Hart v. State, 246 So.3d 417 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018) (en banc). Although two members of this panel dissented in Hart, we affirm because we are bound by Hart, which is currently the law of this district. We again certify conflict with Cuevas v. State, 241 So.3d 947 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018); Blount v. State, 238 So.3d 913 (Fla. 2d DCA 2018); Mosier v. State, 235 So.3d 957 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017); Alfaro v. State, 233 So.3d 515, 516 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017); and Burrows v. State, 219 So.3d 910, 911 (Fla. 5th DCA 2017).

Per Curiam.

Warner, May and Ciklin, JJ., concur.
