PER CURIAM.

The contention presented by the defendant as a ground for reversal of his conviction is ineffective assistance of his counsel in the handling of the cause in the trial court. There as here, the appellant was represented by the public defender. On the authority and reasoning of Geiger v. State, Fla.App. 1969, 228 So.2d 449, the judgment is affirmed, without prejudice to apply in the trial court for relief under Rule 3.850 CrPR, 33 F.S.A.

It is so ordered.
