Supreme Court of Florida

Steven Richard Taylor, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

December 20, 2018260 So. 3d 151

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Taylor’s second successive postconviction motion. It held that the failure to conduct a case-management hearing was harmless because the successive motion was meritless, and it upheld summary denial of Taylor’s newly discovered evidence claims because the affidavit and DNA-related evidence either were previously available, cumulative, refuted by the record, or would not probably produce an acquittal. No separate opinion is included in the record for purposes of this extraction.
