Opinion filed November 14, 2014.
Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P.
9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Lee
County; Bruce E. Kyle, Judge.
David Paul Snipes, pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Cerese Crawford
Taylor, Assistant Attorney General,
Tampa, for Appellee.
KHOUZAM, Judge.
David Paul Snipes appeals the postconviction court's order summarily
denying his motion for postconviction relief filed under Florida Rule of Criminal
Procedure 3.850. Because Snipes alleged he received a mandatory sentence of life
without the possibility of parole for a first-degree murder he committed at the age of
seventeen, we reverse the postconviction court's order summarily denying the claim as
untimely and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with Miller v. Alabama,
132 S. Ct. 2455 (2012), and Toye v. State,
133 So. 3d 540 (Fla. 2d DCA 2014). We
affirm the court's order in all other respects.
In Toye, this court concluded that Miller applied retroactively and certified
conflict with Geter v. State,
115 So. 3d 375 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (en banc), and
Gonzalez v. State,
101 So. 3d 886 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012).
Toye, 133 So. 3d at 547. We
again certify conflict with Gonzalez and Geter, and add to our certification Falcon v.
State,
111 So. 3d 973 (Fla. 1st DCA), review granted,
137 So. 3d 1019 (Fla. 2013).
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. Conflict certified.
