STATE v. RAHMINGS (2021)

The State seeks to appeal the trial court's June 13, 2019 “Order Denying State's Request to Deny Re-Sentencing.” In its underlying motion, the State requested that the trial court withdraw its prior ruling that, pursuant to this Court's mandate,¹ the trial court should resentence Tyrone Rhamings at a future sentencing hearing.

Based on the authority of State v. Yero, No. 19-192, 2021 WL 115440 (Fla. 3d DCA Jan. 13, 2021), we lack jurisdiction to adjudicate the State's appeal of the trial court's June 13, 2019 order. We therefore dismiss the appeal.²

Appeal dismissed.

FOOTNOTES

1.   See Rahmings v. State, 224 So. 3d 300 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (“Rahmings I”). In Rahmings I, this Court concluded that, if Rahmings were determined to be a juvenile at the time he committed the offenses, he was entitled to be resentenced based upon the then-applicable Florida Supreme Court precedent articulated in Atwell v. State, 197 So. 3d 1040 (Fla. 2016), overruled by Franklin v. State, 258 So. 3d 1239, 1241 (Fla. 2018).

2.   A temporary panel of this Court denied Rahmings's motion to dismiss the appeal. While the merits panel is not bound by that interlocutory ruling, State v. Bryant, 901 So. 2d 381, 382 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005), we note that the temporary panel did not have the benefit of this Court's opinion in Yero.

PER CURIAM.
