Description
We review Partlow v. State, 813 So. 2d 999 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002), which certified conflict with Nelson v. State, 780 So. 2d 294 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001). We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const. The issue is whether, after being sentenced for a sexual offense pursuant to a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, a defendant may withdraw his plea as involuntary because he was not informed of the sexual offender registration requirement. The Fourth District Court of Appeal held below that the defendant's ignorance of this consequence rendered his plea involuntary, and therefore he must be allowed to withdraw his plea. 813 So. 2d at 999-1000. For the reasons expressed below, we hold that the sexual offender registration requirement is a collateral consequence of the plea, and therefore failure to inform the defendant of that requirement before he entered the plea does not render his plea involuntary.
