Williams v. Stack

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Dec 7, 1972
269 So. 2d 771 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1972)

Opinion

No. 72-353.

December 7, 1972.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus; full appellate review. Court of Record, Broward County; Robert W. Tyson, Jr., Judge.

Charles W. Musgrove, Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and William W. Herring, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.


Petitioner's original direct appeal from a judgment and sentence imposed upon conviction of the unlawful sale of LSD was frustrated by an untimely filed notice of appeal by court appointed counsel.

We grant petitioner a belated review of the judgment and sentence equivalent to a direct appeal by means of this habeas corpus proceeding. Henninger v. State, 230 So.2d 149 (Fla. 1970).

We dispense with oral argument pursuant to F.A.R. 3.10(e), 32 F.S.A. We have examined the briefs and record, and conclude that petitioner has failed to demonstrate reversible error. Accordingly, the judgment and sentence is affirmed and habeas corpus denied.

Habeas corpus denied.

REED, C.J., and CROSS and OWEN, JJ., concur.
