CourtFlorida Supreme Court

(Syllabus by the Court.)

SYLLABUS

So-called judgment, which contains no adjudication by court of guilt of defendant, does not constitute such a final judgment as will support a writ of error.

Error to Criminal Court of Record, Hillsborough County; W. Raleigh Petteway, Judge.

Bennie Maniscalco brings error. Writ quashed.

COUNSEL

Zewadski & Pierce, of Tampa, for plaintiff in error.

Fred H. Davis, Atty. Gen., and Roy Campbell, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.

OPINION

BROWN, J.

The alleged judgment to which this writ of error is addressed is nothing more than the sentence of the court. It contains no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant. Johnson v. State, 81 Fla. 783, 89 So. 114, and cases cited; Timmons v. State (Fla.) 119 So. 393; Caughn v. State (Fla.) 122 So. 565. As indicated in the cases cited, a so-called judgment, which contains no adjudication by the court of the guilt of the defendant, does not constitute such a final judgment as will support a writ of error. The writ of error in this case therefore must be quashed.

Writ of error quashed.

TERRELL, C.J., and ELLIS, J., concur.
