Debra Lafave, Petitioner v. State of Florida, Respondent

Summary

The Court held that the State could not obtain common-law certiorari review of a final order terminating probation when no statute authorized the State to appeal that order. Because the circuit court's order ended the judicial labor concerning LaFave's probation, the Second District lacked jurisdiction to review it, regardless of the alleged violation of the plea agreement. Justice Canady, dissenting, would have treated the order as an illegal sentence appealable by the State and approved the Second District's result.
