Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Cynthia L. Comras, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Arturo Godinez appeals the denial of his rule 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief. The trial court summarily denied two grounds for relief and dismissed one ground without prejudice to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus in this Court. In a separate case, we have granted habeas corpus relief on the ground of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel and afforded Godinez a new direct appeal. Godinez v. State, No. 4D154749, 2016 WL 1688586 (Fla. 4th DCA Apr. 27, 2016). Our affirmance of the trial court's order in this case is without prejudice to Godinez's right to argue the issues raised in his initial brief in his new appeal.

Affirmed.

WARNER, GROSS and CONNER, JJ., concur.
