267 So. 2d 52 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | 1972
ON MOTION TO DISMISS
This is a motion by the appellee to dismiss the appeal herein whereby the State seeks reversal of an order discharging appellee from certain charges against him pursuant to Florida Criminal Procedure Rule 3.191, 33 F.S.A., known as the speedy trial rule.
By his motion, appellee contends that we have no jurisdiction to review an order of discharge entered under the speedy trial rule. We denied a similar motion in State v. Gravlee, our case No. Q-182, on June 6, 1972, by an unpublished administrative 'order. Thereafter, Gravlee sought a writ of prohibition in the Supreme Court
We quite agree. Such an order is in the nature of a final judgment entered by a trial court which we have appellate jurisdiction to review. Article V, Section 5(3) F.S.A. See also the statutory authority granted by Section 924.08, Florida Statutes, F.S.A.
Accordingly, appellee’s motion to dismiss is denied.
. Gravlee v. Spector et al., Florida Supreme Court, 267 So.2d 82, decided September 12, 1972.
