Opinion

No. SC93828

Opinion filed July 13, 2000

Application for Review of the Decision of the District Court of Appeal — Direct Conflict, Fifth District — Case No. 5D97-2308, (Brevard County).

James B. Gibson, Public Defender, and Rosemarie Farrell, Assistant Public Defender, Seventh Judicial Circuit, Daytona Beach, Florida, for Petitioner.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Belle B. Schumann and Lori E. Nelson, Assistant Attorneys General, Daytona Beach, Florida, for Respondent.


We have for review Jerry v. State, 715 So.2d 1141 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), a decision of the Fifth District Court of Appeal affirming on the authority of its opinion in Maddox v. State, 708 So.2d 617 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998), approved in part, disapproved in part, 25 Fla. L. Weekly S367 (Fla. May 11, 2000). We granted jurisdiction based on Jollie v. State, 405 So.2d 418, 420 (Fla. 1981), because we had accepted jurisdiction in Maddox in order to resolve the issue of whether sentencing errors could be raised on appeal although unpreserved. Because Jerry does not raise any sentencing errors on appeal, we dismiss this case. We decline to address any of the trial errors raised by the defendant. See, e.g., Wood v. State, 750 So.2d 592, 595 n. 3 (Fla. 1999); McMullen v. State, 714 So.2d 368, 373 (Fla. 1998).

It is so ordered.

WELLS, C.J., and SHAW, HARDING, ANSTEAD, PARIENTE, LEWIS and QUINCE, JJ., concur.
