NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND, IF FILED, DISPOSED OF. IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA THIRD DISTRICT JANUARY TERM, A.D. 2003 ALBERTO URRUCHURTU, Appellant, vs. ** ** ** THE STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ** CASE NO.:3D03-1229 LOWER TRIBUNAL NO.:01-19346 ** Opinion filed November 5, 2003. An appeal under Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Dade County, Florida, Scott J. Silverman, Judge. Alberto Urruchurtu, in proper person. Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, for appellee. Before COPE, SHEVIN, and WELLS, JJ. PER CURIAM. The order under review is affirmed. See § 893.135(1)(j), Fla. Stat. (2000). The defendant was charged with, and ultimately convicted of and sentenced for, a crime that he committed on June 20, 2001. That crime and the minimum mandatory sentence that it carried, were first created by chapter 2000-320, section 4, Laws of Florida, page 3497 and became effective October 1, 2000. This amendment was not part of chapter 99-188, Laws of Florida but added entirely new provisions to section 893.135 and thus was not affected by any infirmity in chapter 99-188, by the decision in Taylor v. State, 818 So.2d 544 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002), or by enactment of chapter 2002-212, Laws of Florida. 2
