September 23, 2010 - Certiorari Petition Overturns Life-Time Driver's License Revocation

September 23, 2010 - Florida First District Court of Appeal issued a show cause order to the Florida Attorney General to show cause why Mr. Kent's certiorari petition on behalf of client Gary Mitchell should not be granted.  Click here for a copy of Mr. Kent's cert petition. This petition argues that Alabama v. Shelton, a United States Supreme Court decision which extended the right to appointed counsel in certain misdemeanor offenses, should be given retroactive effect for state post-conviction relief (3.850) purposes.  If successful this appeal will overturn a life-time driver's license revocation.
