State v. DennisState v. Dennis
Versions:696 So. 2d 8481997 WL 148785
The State of Florida appeals the trial court‘s order excluding in part alleged similar fact evidence. We treat the state‘s notice of appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari. See State v. Jenkins, 624 So.2d 354 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993), review denied, 634 So.2d 624 (Fla.1994). We conclude that the state has failed to demonstrate that “‘there has been a violation of a clearly established principle of law resulting in a miscarriage of justice.‘” State v. Pettis, 520 So.2d 250, 254 (Fla.1988) (quoting Combs v. State, 436 So.2d 93, 96 (Fla.1983)). Accordingly, we deny the petition.
Petition for writ of certiorari denied.
