District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

554 So. 2d 36 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 88-2531.

January 4, 1990.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County; James T. Carlisle, Judge.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Phyllis Malinski, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, (withdrawn as counsel after filing brief). Craig A. Boudreau, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Lynn Waxman, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Eric Allen appeals from a judgment of conviction and sentence for possession of cocaine.

We have considered Allen's appellate presentation and the record. We are unable to say that the trial court abused its discretion or committed reversible error.

The underlying theme is that Allen was not furnished with effective representation by counsel. Because of this we affirm without prejudice to Allen's right to seek post-conviction relief alleging ineffective assistance of counsel under Fla.R.Crim.P. 3.850.

AFFIRMED.

WALDEN, GUNTHER and GARRETT, JJ., concur.
