Elements of Florida “Theft” Statute and New York Larceny Statutes Are Different—Florida Conviction Cannot Serve as a Predicate Felony in New York

The Third Department, using its “interest of justice” review power, determined defendant’s Florida conviction could not serve as a predicate felony in New York because the relevant Florida statute included an element not included in the relevant New York statute:

Here, the information contained with the second felony offender notice indicates that, in 2001, defendant was convicted in Florida of a felony “theft” in the third degree (see Fla Stat Ann § 812.014). Under the applicable Florida penal statute, it is a crime to “knowingly obtain[] or use[], or endeavor[] to obtain or to use, the property of another with intent to, either temporarily or permanently . . . [d]eprive the other person of a right to the property or a benefit from the property . . . [or a]ppropriate the property to his or her own use or to the use of any person not entitled to the use of the property” (Fla Stat Ann § 812.014 [1] [a], [b] [emphasis added]). In comparison, New York’s larceny statutes do not contain analogous language with regard to mere temporary deprivations or appropriations (see Penal Law §§ 155.00 [3], [4]; 155.05 [1]…). Thus, the Florida crime undoubtedly contains an element that is not included in New York’s larceny offenses and, as a result, the Florida conviction is not sufficiently analogous to a New York felony to serve as a predicate felony for purposes of Penal Law § 70.06 … . People v Parker, 2014 NY Slip Op 07021, 3rd Dept 10-16-14
