BLACKMON v. STATE

No. 4D08-2880.

32 So.3d 148 (2010)

Marcus L. BLACKMON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

Rehearing Denied May 11, 2010.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and James W. Mclntire, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Marcus L. Blackmon was tried by jury and convicted of unlawful sexual activity with a minor. He appeals his conviction and sentence on the ground that the trial court committed fundamental error in proceeding to trial without finding him competent to proceed. However, in this case, unlike in an earlier case discussed below, the defendant neither claimed that he was incompetent to stand trial nor moved for a hearing to determine his competency.
