Alejandro Ernesto LIMA, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

November 9, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James V. Caltagirone of James V. Caltagirone & Associates, P.A., Tampa, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Frank Migliore, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
