No. 1D18-5323
_____________________________
JAMES PATRICK BONIFAY,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Escambia County.
W. Joel Boles, Judge.
May 26, 2020
PER CURIAM.
AFFIRMED. See Marshall v. State, 44 Fla. L. Weekly D2561
(Fla. 2d DCA Oct. 18, 2019) (Order on Motion to Enforce Mandate)
(denying defendant’s motion to enforce mandate on the basis that
its reasoning was “superseded by the supreme court” in Franklin
v. State, 258 So. 3d 1239, 1241 (Fla. 2018), and acknowledging that
“an intervening decision by a higher court contrary to the decision
reached on the former appeal” was a “clear example” of an
exception to the general rule binding the parties to the law of the
case and demanding that the trial court not deviate from the
mandate (quoting Strazzulla v. Hendrick, 177 So. 2d 1, 4 (Fla.
1965))).
LEWIS, WINOKUR, and JAY, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
