M.R. v. STATE

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
Nov 1, 2000

Whatley, Judge.

M.R. appeals the trial court's adjudication of delinquency for violating Tampa's juvenile curfew ordinance. See Tampa, Fla., Code ยง 14-26(c) (1996). He argues that the ordinance is unconstitutional. We affirm under the authority of this court's recent decisions in J.P. v. State, 25 Fla. L. Weekly D1513 (Fla. 2d DCA June 23, 2000), and State v. T.M., 761 So.2d 1140 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).

We again certify the following questions of great public importance:

WHAT LEVEL OF SCRUTINY MUST A COURT APPLY WHEN REVIEWING THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF A JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE? WHETHER THE TAMPA JUVENILE CURFEW ORDINANCE IS CONSTITUTIONAL?

Parker, A.C.J., and Fulmer, J., Concur.
