The 2023 Florida Statutes (including Special Session C)

The Plaintiff argues in his motion that “Section 810.09 is inapplicable because the bar that Plaintiff entered is a ‘structure' as defined in Section 810.011(1).” (Pl.'s Resp. to Def. Officers' Mot. Summ. J. at 11, n.5; Def. Officers' Reply at 3-4.) The Court's conclusion would be the same under either statute because Buress neither refused nor defied orders under his version of events, nor would a reasonable police officer have believed himself to have authorization to order Buress's departure under the undisputed facts with all inferences drawn in favor of the Plaintiff.
The burglary statute defines a “structure” as “a building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, which has a roof over it, together with the curtilage thereof.” § 810.011(1), Fla. Stat. Although the term “curtilage” is not defined by statute, the Florida Supreme Court has determined that “some form of an enclosure [is necessary] in order for the area surrounding a residence to be considered part of the ‘curtilage' as referred to in the burglary statute.” State v. Hamilton, 660 So.2d 1038, 1044 (Fla. 1995).
In a recent Eleventh Circuit case, the court stated that “[a] person commits the Florida misdemeanor offense of trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance when, ‘without being authorized, licensed, or invited,' he ‘willfully enters upon or remains in any property other than a structure or conveyance: (1) As as [sic] to which which [sic] notice against entering or remaining is given, either by actual communication to the offender or by posting, fencing, or cultivation as described in s. 810.011.” Watkins v. Broward Sheriff Off., 824 Fed.Appx. 865, 868 (11th Cir. 2020) (quoting Fla. Stat. § 810.09(1)(a), (2)(a) (2014)). In that case, the court found that the officer had probable cause to believe Watkins “was actively committing the offense of trespass on property other than a structure or conveyance” because the property manager “complained to the police that Watkins refused to leave the property after being asked to do so, and she knew that he remained on the property when she arrived.” Watkins, 824 Fed.Appx. in 868. In this case, there is no evidence of a complaint or call to police; rather, Defendant simply observed the vehicle.
Section 810.011(1) defines structure as "a building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, which has a roof over it, together with the curtilage thereof." Section 810.011(2) defines dwelling as "a building or conveyance of any kind, including any attached porch, whether such building or conveyance is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the curtilage thereof." The statutory definition of dwelling encompasses the statutory definition of structure. If it is a dwelling, it is also a structure.
Section 810.011(1) defines structure as "a building of any kind, either temporary or permanent, which has a roof over it, together with the curtilage thereof." Section 810.011(2) defines dwelling as "a building or conveyance of any kind, including any attached porch, whether such building or conveyance is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the curtilage thereof." The statutory definition of dwelling encompasses the statutory definition of structure. If it is a dwelling, it is also a structure.
There do not appear to be any Florida cases that directly address whether the fence is itself part of the curtilage. But the fence is inextricably tied to the curtilage and therefore the structure itself. See Hamilton , 660 So. 2d at 1044 (requiring there be some form of an enclosure for an area to be part of the curtilage). The curtilage is not just an area next to the structure. By statute, the curtilage is the structure. See § 810.011(1), Fla. Stat. (including the curtilage in the definition of "structure"); Baker v. State , 636 So. 2d 1342, 1344 (Fla. 1994) ("[T]he curtilage is not a separate location wherein a burglary can occur. Rather, it is an integral part of the structure or dwelling that it surrounds."). When a building stands on its own, the boundaries of the structure are defined by the walls of the building. When a building has a curtilage, the boundaries of the structure are defined by the fence. Just as the building's walls are part of the structure, the curtilage's fence is also part of the structure.
The Court addresses this claim in accordance with the deferential standard for federal court review of state court adjudications. The state charged Petitioner with burglary with an assault while armed. Burglary “means entering or remaining in a dwelling, a structure, or a conveyance with the intent to commit an offense therein.” § 810.02(1)(a), Fla. Stat. The theory of burglary here involved two elements - (1) Petitioner had permission or consent to enter the dwelling owned by or in the possession of Stacay Hawkins; and (2) Petitioner, after entering the dwelling, remained after permission to remain had been withdrawn and with intent to commit an assault inside the structure. Resp. Ex. S at 258-59; Resp. Ex. L at 17. “‘Dwelling' means a building or conveyance of any kind, including any attached porch, whether such building or conveyance is temporary or permanent, mobile or immobile, which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the curtilage thereof.” § 810.011(2), Fla. Stat.
Also, the information charged Mitchell with “unlawfully enter[ing] or remain[ing] in a certain dwelling . . . with the intent to commit an offense therein.” (Doc. 10-2 at 103) § 810.02(1)(b)(1), Fla. Stat. (2010). A dwelling means “a building or conveyance of any kind . . . which has a roof over it and is designed to be occupied by people lodging therein at night, together with the curtilage thereof.” § 810.011( 2), Fla. Stat. (2010) (bolding added). The evidence showed that the broken window was in rear of the house (Doc. 10-2 at 327), and a six-foot high chain linked fence enclosed the backyard of the house. (Doc. 10-2 at 331-33) A screen for the window was lying on the ground. (Doc. 10-2 at 336) Even though a section of the backyard fence for entering and exiting always remained open (Doc. 10-2 at 332, 350), the enclosed backyard was part of the curtilage of the house. Therefore, the evidence proved that Mitchell entered the “dwelling.” Baker v. State, 636 So.2d 1342, 1344 (Fla. 1994) (“Entry onto the curtilage is, for the purposes of the burglary statute, entry into the structure or dwelling. Baker entered Wilson's yard which was protected by a fence and shrubbery…
First, the BIA said that it could not imagine a burglary prosecution in Florida for a dwelling that was "never occupied." See A.R. at 7 (emphasis removed). But a Florida Supreme Court case decided after Bennett affirms that "[o]ccupancy is no longer a critical element under [the statutory] definition" of burglary, and explains that "a structure's design or suitability for habitation, rather than actual occupancy or intent to occupy, controls in determining whether a structure constitutes a dwelling [under § 810.011(2) ]." Young , 141 So. 3d at 166 (citation omitted). See also Jacobs v. State , 41 So. 3d 1004, 1006–07 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (holding that a jury could reasonably find that a vacant home under renovation, with roof and walls and equipped with utilities that were not turned on, was a dwelling under § 810.011(2) though it had been unoccupied for several years due to a fire).
The parties agree that the version of the Florida burglary statute under which Mr. Banks was convicted in 1981 was non-generic, and indeed it sanctioned not only entry into structures, but also the structure's curtilage and conveyances. See Fla. Stat. §§ 810.02 &810.011 (1981). The sentencing record is silent as to which of the ACCA's clauses the district court relied on to enhance Mr. Banks' sentence. Consequently, Mr. Banks is correct that this case turns on the legal landscape at the time of sentencing-specifically, Taylor and Adams.
