LUIS AVILES-MANFREDY,

ON REMAND FROM FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
PER CURIAM.
On February 28, 2020, the Florida Supreme Court quashed
our decision in Aviles-Manfredy v. State, 1D17-3005, 2019 WL
116471 (Fla. 1st DCA Jan. 7, 2019), and remanded the matter for
reconsideration upon application of its decision in Love v. State,
286 So. 3d 177 (Fla. 2019). In Love, the supreme court ruled that
the 2017 amendment to section 776.032(4), Florida Statutes,
“applies to all Stand Your Ground immunity hearings conducted
on or after the statute’s effective date.” Id. at 190 (emphasis added).
The chapter law creating section 776.032(4) provides that the “act
shall take effect upon becoming law.” Id. at 187. See Ch. 2017-72,
§ 2, Laws of Fla. The law took effect in June 2017. Love, 286 So. 3d
at 179. Because Appellant’s immunity hearing was held on March
3 and 6, 2017, according to Love, he is not entitled to a remand of
his case for a new immunity hearing. Consequently, we withdraw
our original decision dated January 9, 2019, substitute the instant
one in its place and affirm Appellant’s judgments of conviction and
sentences.
MAKAR, OSTERHAUS, and JAY, JJ., concur.
