FARBER v. STATE (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Eric FARBER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D21-475

Decided: July 20, 2022

Before FERNANDEZ, C.J., and HENDON, and LOBREE, JJ.

Law Offices of Adam Farber, P.A., and Adam D. Farber (Boynton Beach); Law Offices of Ron M. Kleiner, Esq., and Ron M. Kleiner, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Richard L. Polin, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Eric Farber appeals the trial court's denial of his petition to be relieved of his statutory duty to register as a sex offender. The trial court conducted a hearing and denied the petition, announcing its exercise of discretion in doing so. Finding no abuse of discretion in the trial court's decision, we affirm.

An issue raised by appellant pertains to the application of Florida Statute Section 943.0435 and amendments thereto. We decline appellant's invitation to opine as to whether the statute's amendments would preclude the appellant from filing a future petition to be removed from the registry, as any such discussion would be advisory in nature.

Affirmed.

PER CURIAM.
