978 So. 2d 258 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)

Opinion

No. 2D07-5940.

April 4, 2008.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for DeSoto County; James S. Parker, Judge.

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. This court has recently discussed the appropriate uses of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in regard to issues related to a criminal case in Valdez-Garcia v. State, 965 So.2d 318 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007). The challenge Mr. Whyms attempts to mount against his convictions and pleas because of an alleged illegal confession may not be presented by a petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed in the county of imprisonment.

Affirmed.
