Interested persons have until January 15, 2012, to submit comments electronically to Joel M.

PROPOSED CRIMINAL PROCEDURE RULES

The three-year cycle proposed amendments for the Criminal Procedure Rules Committee were published this summer and, as a result, comments were received. From these comments, two of the proposed rule amendments were withdrawn, and two of the rules were amended further and a summary appears below. The full text of the proposals can be found on The Florida Bar’s website at www.FloridaBar.org. Interested persons have until January 15, 2012, to submit any additional comments electronically to Judge Donald E. Scaglione, chair, at dscaglione@circuit5.org, and to the Bar staff liaison, Krys Godwin, at kgodwin@flabar.org.

RULE/FORMVOTE EXPLANATION
3.140(c)(1)28-0Amends the rule to include in potential case titles a reference to violations of County ordinances.
3.220(h)(1)22-12Amends the rule to include the right of an attorney for a party to apply to the clerk of court or the court for a deposition subpoena to be issued.
3.700(c)(1)31-3Upon further review of the interpretation of Kramer v. State, 970 So.2d 468, 470 n.1 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007), the Committee was convinced by the Comment that the proposed rule amendment was actually a misinterpretation of the opinion. It is proposed that the previously approved rule amendment be withdrawn and the rule remain as currently published.
