April 18, 201338 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 247

Summary

Justice Canady concurred in the court's amendments except for the decision to retain rule 3.170G), which he believed should be deleted so that the issues it addressed could be handled more efficiently in rule 3.850 proceedings. The supplied opinion does not state the majority's final disposition beyond that disagreement. Justice Pariente, concurring in part and dissenting in part, likewise objected to the new one-year limit for jail-credit claims and urged broader procedural reforms, including standard forms and electronic filing.
