924.051(4) [3] constituted a jurisdictional bar to appellate review....
...Second, the State conceded that Leonard's sentence was illegal and subject to correction on appeal, even if not preserved for appellate review. We agree with the State's concessions of error and commend the State for its candor. [4] As we explained in State v. Jefferson,
758 So.2d 661 (Fla.2000), section

...However, in this case, unlike the defendant in Jefferson, Leonard pleaded guilty and now challenges as illegal the sentence imposed after a violation of probation.

...e. Keith,
582 So.2d at 1202. We agree with Judge Zehmer's analysis that the appellate court does not lack subject matter jurisdiction to entertain the appeal under these circumstances. Thus, the question presented is whether the Legislature intended section
924.051(4) to codify existing law or to create a new jurisdictional bar to appellate review when defendants pleaded guilty "without expressly reserving the right to appeal a legally dispositive issue" or raising an issue that had previously been allowed under Robinson. As in Jefferson, we have considered the canon of statutory construction that statutes should be construed in a manner that upholds their constitutionality. See Jefferson,
758 So.2d at 664-65. Construing section
924.051(4) as codifying the existing limitations on what issues may be addressed on appeal following the entry of a guilty plea or plea of nolo contendere rather than limiting the subject matter jurisdiction of the appellate courts comports with this canon. See id. In addition, as in Jefferson, the legislative history of the Act supports this construction. See Magaw v. State,
537 So.2d 564, 566 (Fla.1989). The legislative history indicates that section
924.051(4) was intended to "basically codify" this Court's decision in Robinson....

924.051(4); [13] (2) an issue concerning whether the trial court lacked subject matter jurisdiction as set forth in Robinson; or (3) a preserved sentencing error or a sentencing error that constitutes fundamental error as set forth in our opinion in Maddox,

...On appeal, the Fourth District held that this type of "bad neighborhood" testimony was not a "constitutional error" to which this Court's decision in DiGuilio applied. Id. Instead, the Fourth District found that the defendant had failed to meet his burden of demonstrating "prejudicial error" pursuant to section
924.051(7), Florida Statutes (1996). Goodwin,
721 So.2d at 729. In Jones, the trial court allowed the introduction of collateral crimes evidence over the defendant's timely objection. The First District affirmed based on section
924.051(7), but certified the identical question as in Goodwin for this Court's review. Jones,
715 So.2d at 378. ANALYSIS The subject of the certified questions, section
924.051(7), provides: In a direct appeal or a collateral proceeding, the party challenging the judgment or order of the trial court has the burden of demonstrating that prejudicial error occurred in the trial court. A conviction or sentence may not be reversed absent an express finding that a prejudicial error occurred in the trial court. Section
924.051(1)(a) defines "prejudicial error" as "an error in the trial court that harmfully affected the judgment or sentence." Notably, section
924.051(7) does not distinguish between constitutional and nonconstitutional error....

386 U.S. 18,
87 S.Ct. 824,
17 L.Ed.2d 705 (1967), and followed by this Court in DiGuilio. The State concedes this as well. In fact, the State contends that section
924.051(7) merely reaffirms existing standards of review....
...State,
531 So.2d 129, 131 (Fla.1988). Eleven years after Lee and after the enactment of yet another harmless error statute, we are now considering essentially the same issue as in Lee and we reach the same conclusion. First, as to federal constitutional errors, it is clear that section
924.051(7) cannot be held to abrogate the United States Supreme Court's decision in Chapman and our decision in DiGuilio. At the outset, we note that the statute itself contains no language that would allow this Court to read section
924.051(7) as only applying to non-constitutional error as construed by the Fourth District in Goodwin. See Goodwin,
721 So.2d at 729. However, because the statute unambiguously applies to all errors in criminal appeals, construing the statute as limited to non-constitutional errors would effectively require us to rewrite section
924.051(7). Further, even if this Court adopted a construction of section
924.051(7) as applying only to nonconstitutional errors, we note that no appellate court in Florida has defined where the line would be drawn between constitutional and nonconstitutional error....
...ained of had constitutional significance. Further, any attempt to develop a "laundry list" of constitutional errors would not guarantee the integrity of the criminal process. To the contrary, the State has argued, and we agree, that the enactment of section 924.051(7) merely reaffirms existing standards of review requiring the application of the DiGuilio test to errors that are not per se reversible....
...This reaffirmation is in recognition of the undeniable obligation of the judiciary to safeguard a defendant's right to a fair trial and its constitutional authority to determine "when an error is harmless and the analysis to be used in making the determination." Lee, 631 So.2d at 136 n. 1. In fact, we view the enactment of section 924.051(7) as a codification of existing law *544 by referring to prejudicial error as "harmful" error....
...error.
491 So.2d at 1139. Thus, we conclude that by referring to "harmful" error without defining the term, the Legislature incorporated the DiGuilio usage. This brings us to the essential issue raised by the certified question: has the enactment of section
924.051(7) shifted the burden of proof regarding whether the error harmfully affected the verdict? In cases of doubt, does the benefit of that doubt now go to the beneficiary of the error? As Judge Griffin recognized, "Read literally and in isolation, the burden imposed by the statute to demonstrate that an error `harmfully affected the judgment or sentence' appears virtually impossible for a defendant to meet." Jackson v. State,
707 So.2d 412, 414 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998). We interpret section
924.051(7) as a reaffirmation of the important principle that the defendant bears the burden of demonstrating that an error occurred in the trial court, which was preserved by proper objection....
...fer has been made, the lack of an adequate record will be grounds to affirm. [10] Indeed, our case law is filled with procedural pitfalls that may preclude an error from being considered on appeal. Most importantly, without regard to the language of section 924.051(7), the *545 Legislature cannot relieve the appellate courts of their independent and inherent obligation to assess the effect of the error on the verdict....
...judicial responsibility, but could lead to the unjust result of an affirmance of a conviction even though the appellate court was not convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that the error did not affect the defendant's conviction. We further note that section 924.051(7) purports to apply the same standard for determining whether an error is harmless on direct appeal as in a claim for collateral relief after the conviction has been affirmed on direct appeal....
...As the United States Supreme Court has observed, once a conviction has been affirmed on direct appeal "a presumption of finality and legality attaches to the conviction and sentence." Brecht v. Abrahamson,
507 U.S. 619, 633,
113 S.Ct. 1710,
123 L.Ed.2d 353 (1993). Our construction of section
924.051(7) accords with this principle that a different standard for determining whether an error harmfully affected the judgment applies on direct appeal than in postconviction proceedings....

...95,325), and the en banc opinion of the Fourth District Court of Appeal in Hyden v. State,
715 So.2d 960 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998). [1] The conflict issue is whether any unpreserved errors related to sentencing can be raised on direct appeal in light of the adoption of section
924.051, Florida Statutes (Supp.1996), enacted as part of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act of 1996 (the Act), and this Court's procedural rules promulgated in Amendments to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure,
696 So.2d 1103 (Fla.1996) (hereinafter Amendments I )....
...(4) If a defendant pleads nolo contendere without expressly reserving the right to appeal a legally dispositive issue, or if a defendant pleads guilty without expressly reserving the right to appeal a legally dispositive issue, the defendant may not appeal the judgment or sentence. §
924.051(3)-(4). The goal of the 1996 enactment of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act was "to ensure that all claims of error are raised and resolved at the first opportunity." §
924.051(8). This goal is consistent with the policy of this Court that sentencing errors should be handled by the trial courts at the earliest opportunity rather than on appeal or in the postconviction process. See Amendments II,
761 So.2d at 1025-27. Section

924.051(3) of the Act specifically recognizes the ability of defendants to raise fundamental sentencing errors on direct appeal. We likewise find that the language of section
924.051(4), concerning the right to appeal following the entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, does not preclude this Court from considering on appeal fundamental sentencing errors. In Amendments I, we found that under section

The parties are in disagreement as to whether the error standard enunciated in section 924.051, Florida Statutes (Supp. 1996), applies to this case. Section 924.051 was created as a result of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act of 1996, chapter 96-248, Laws of Florida. Section 924.051 became effective on July 1, 1996. The crime in this case was committed on March 10, 1995. Nelson's trial began on September 16, 1996.

...In essence, the court created a sort of post-hoc device for preserving such sentencing errors for appeal. Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.800(b). Any error not complained of at the time of sentence could be complained of in the trial court after sentencing, if done in accordance with the new rule. Thus, at approximately the same time section 924.051 became effective, the Florida Supreme Court, by emergency amendment to Florida *619 Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800, permitted the filing of a motion to correct a sentence entered by the trial court, provided the motion was filed within ten days (now thirty) of the date of rendition of the sentence....

924.051(3) compels the conclusion that Florida's appellate courts are meant to continue exercising jurisdiction in cases presenting such circumstances....
...That statement contradicts the notion that the rule amendments were meant to eliminate jurisdiction that the Act retained. On the other hand, while the Act did not disturb our jurisdiction to correct fundamental errors, it did limit our jurisdiction to correct nonfundamental errors.

...The Effect of a Guilty Plea As earlier noted, the Criminal Appeal Reform Act imposes two restrictions on our jurisdiction. The second potential jurisdictional impediment to Bain's appeal stems from the fact that his sentences were imposed following guilty pleas.

924.051(3), Florida Statutes (Supp.1996), enacted as part of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act of 1996 ("the Act"), operates as a jurisdictional bar to appellate review of criminal appeals that do not present either preserved or fundamental error. The Third District in Jefferson v. State,

At oral argument in this case, the State conceded that section 924.051(3) is not a limitation on the appellate courts' subject matter jurisdiction....
...We agree with this concession. However, because this jurisdictional question has been raised in the appellate courts since the passage of the Criminal Appeals Reform Act, we write to explain why we agree with the State's concession of error. In 1996, the Legislature enacted section 924.051 as part of the Criminal Appeal Reform Act....

924.051(3) operates as a jurisdictional bar to review "unless a prejudicial error is alleged and is properly preserved or, if not properly preserved, would constitute fundamental error." In Amendments to the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure,
696 So.2d 1103, 1104-06, 1138 (Fla.1996), we adopted amendments to several procedural rules in order to "harmonize" our rules with the Act, specifically with sections
924.051(3) and (4)....

...In enacting the Act, the Legislature was attempting to streamline the appellate process and increase judicial efficiency. See Fla. S. Jud. Comm., CS for SB 2 (1995) Staff Analysis 4-5 (rev. Nov. 16, 1995); See also Denson v. State,
711 So.2d 1225, 1228 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998). Construing section
924.051(3) as presenting a jurisdictional bar to review would not further the purpose of increasing judicial efficiency because in many cases it would effectively require appellate courts to examine the entire trial record twiceonce in response to the State's motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and then again when a decision is made on the merits. A two-step process would almost inevitably increase and certainly would not decrease judicial labor. Further, section
924.051(3) provides that a defendant may not appeal "unless a prejudicial error is alleged and is properly preserved or, if not properly preserved, would constitute fundamental error." Outside of the sentencing context, the question of whethe...

924.051(3), which requires appellate courts to conduct "a review of the complete record." Although determining whether an error has been preserved is less complex than determining whether that error is fundamental, appellate cases routinely involve multiple issues that may include both preserved and unpreserved error. After considering the language of the Act and the legislative history of section
924.051(3), we conclude that construing this statute as merely codifying the existing procedural bars to appellate review both upholds the statute's constitutionality and is consistent with the actual legislative intent in passing the Act....

924.051, Florida Statutes (1997), was inapplicable to appeals in juvenile proceedings, which are governed by section 39.069, Florida Statutes (1995), now transferred and renumbered as section 985.234, Florida Statutes (1997).

Accordingly, we hold that provisions of section 924.051, which require the preservation of issues for appeal, apply to the sentencing process by which juveniles are sentenced as adults. The application of section 924.051 to the procedure whereby a juvenile is sentenced as an adult does not obviate the right to appeal guaranteed in section 39.059(7), it merely requires that any such error be preserved as explained below....

924.051, which conditions appeals and collateral review on the preservation of alleged errors in the trial court. Cargle failed to comply with the preservation requirements of section
924.051 and this issue thus was not preserved for review. Furthermore, the instant error does not constitute fundamental error as defined in Maddox v. State,

...(Supp.1996). That chapter deals with appeals *916 and collateral review in criminal cases. The amendments place severe restrictions on a criminal defendant's opportunities for direct and collateral review of alleged errors at the trial court level. Section 924.051(3) provides that a judgment or sentence may be reversed on appeal only when an appellate court determines that prejudicial error occurred and was properly preserved in the trial court or, if not properly preserved, would constitute fundamental error. Under section 924.051(1)(b) "preserved" means that an issue, legal argument, or objection to evidence was timely raised before, and ruled on by, the trial court, and that the issue, legal argument, or objection to evidence was sufficiently precise that it fairly apprised the trial court of the relief sought and the grounds therefor.

...To help explain the crucial distinction between a claim of "sentencing error" and an assertion that a sentencing statute is unconstitutional on its face, I briefly review the birth and growth of rule 3.800(b). The rule stems from the Criminal Appeal Reform Act of 1996 ("CARA"). As part of CARA, the Legislature enacted section 924.051, Florida Statutes, which provides in part: An appeal may not be taken from a judgment or order of a trial court unless a prejudicial error is alleged and is properly preserved or, if not properly preserved, would constitute fundamental error....

We, therefore, affirm the sentence imposed by the trial court in this case.

...Among other differences is the fact that, in the juvenile delinquency system rehabilitation is the principal focus, while in the adult criminal system punishment is the principal focus. In addition, established principles of statutory construction militate against the conclusion that the legislature intended that section 924.051 apply to juvenile delinquency proceedings.

We do not read I.T. as requiring a different result. Accordingly, we adhere to our conclusion in T.M.B. that section 924.051 does not apply to juvenile delinquency proceedings; and we reject the state's argument to the contrary.

CopyPublished | Florida 4th District Court of Appeal | 2000 WL 690179
...ensues from our affirmance of defendant's conviction. Defendant argues that counsel's *970 failure to argue that the only correct standard for harmless error is State v. DiGuilio,
491 So.2d 1129 (Fla.1986), and that the State of Florida could not by section
924.051(7) transfer to him the burden of showing that the error was harmless, violated his right to the effective assistance of counsel in his appeal....
...4th DCA 1998). In explaining our finding of harmless error, we followed our prior decision in Goodwin v. State,
721 So.2d 728 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998), where we had said: "The Legislature has the authority to enact a statute setting forth the standard for reversal. Section
924.051(7), Florida Statutes (1995), places the burden on the appellant to show that a prejudicial error has occurred....
...Thus, as these citations to Chapman and DiGuilio show, the supreme court in Goodwin did not create a new understanding of harmless error analysis so much as it refreshed an old one. In this case defendant's appellate counsel did not argue that the only proper harmless error standard was Chapman-DiGuilio and that section 924.051(7) improperly shifted the burden regarding harmless error and sought to establish a different standard for nonconstitutional errors....
...2052; Williams,

...Before mandate issued in Smith's direct appeal on December 1, 1998, the Supreme Court of Florida granted review in Goodwin on November 16, 1998.
