Appeal from the Circuit Court for Citrus County, Richard A. Howard, Judge.
James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Kathryn Rollison Radtke, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and L. Charlene Matthews, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Joshua Wayne Anderson seeks review of an order denying his motion to withdraw his plea. Anderson's motion to withdraw his plea was untimely because it was filed more than thirty days after the rendition of his sentence. SeeFla. R.Crim. P. 3.170.
As explained in Gafford v. State, 783 So.2d 1191 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001), the failure to timely file a motion to withdraw a plea waives appellate review of the issues related to the plea. The defendant must seek relief by filing a timely rule 3.850 motion. We, therefore, affirm the court's order denying Anderson's motion to withdraw his plea without prejudice to raise the voluntariness of his plea in a timely rule 3.850 motion.
AFFIRMED without prejudice.
