STATE OF FLORIDA, 
Petitioner, 
 
vs. 
 
JULIUS MCGRIFF, 
Respondent. 
 
 
[August 25, 2011] 
 
 
 
PER CURIAM. 
 
We previously granted review of McGriff v. State, 32 Fla. L. Weekly D520 
(Fla. 1st DCA Feb. 21, 2007), to resolve a certified conflict in the district courts 
regarding the applicability of Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), and 
Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296 (2004), to resentencing proceedings which 
became final after Apprendi and Blakely issued where the conviction and the 
original sentence were final before they issued.  See art. V, § 3(b)(4), Fla. Const; 
State v. McGriff, 4 So. 3d 677 (Fla. 2009) (granting review).  We resolved this 
 
- 2 - 
conflict, however, in State v. Fleming, 61 So. 3d 399 (Fla. 2011).  Accordingly, we 
have determined to discharge jurisdiction in McGriff and dismiss this review 
proceeding. 
 
It is so ordered.
