Faircloth v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Oct 11, 2000
779 So. 2d 426 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 2D99-2929

Opinion filed October 11, 2000.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Polk County; J. Michael Hunter, Judge.

Robin Matis-Jackson of Jackson Matis, P.A., Bartow, for Appellant.

Darrell Faircloth, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and William I. Munsey, Jr., Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.


Darrell Faircloth appeals a judgment and sentence based upon his nolo contendere plea to numerous charges, including trafficking in methamphetamine and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, in exchange for a 115-month prison sentence regardless of sentencing guidelines. We affirm without discussion his challenge to the amount of jail time credit the court awarded.See Keene v. State, 500 So.2d 592 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986).

Faircloth also raises a claim of ineffectiveness of counsel for failing to reserve any right to appeal the trial court's denial of his motion to suppress. We affirm this claim without prejudice to his ability, if any, to file a timely, facially sufficient postconviction motion.

GREEN and CASANUEVA, JJ., Concur.
