Supreme Court of Florida
Hall v. State
January 20, 2000752 So. 2d 575
Summary
The Florida Supreme Court held that a post‑conviction motion and an appeal of its denial are collateral criminal proceedings, and therefore section 944.28(2)(a) cannot be applied independently of section 944.279 to impose gain‑time forfeiture. Accordingly, the Court quashed the Fifth District Court of Appeal's sanction and remanded for further proceedings consistent with this decision.
