Clarified Order Relinquishing Jurisdiction for Determination of Mental Retardation
We consider Melvin Trotter's mental retardation claim made in this case to be an invocation of Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.203. We therefore relinquish jurisdiction of this case to the circuit court for a period of 180 days for a determination of mental retardation pursuant to rule 3.203. This determination shall proceed in accord with rule 3.203. Upon the rendition of the Order pursuant to rule 3.203(e), the circuit court shall direct that this case be returned to this Court for further proceedings as may be directed by this Court.
