Frazier v. Wainwright

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Dec 10, 1971
255 So. 2d 291 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1971)

Opinion

No. 70-1076.

December 10, 1971.

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Walter N. Colbath, Jr., Public Defender, Carl V.M. Coffin, Asst. Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for petitioner.

Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, Charles W. Musgrove, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.


Petitioner's original direct appeal from a judgment and sentence imposed upon conviction of breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony and petit larceny 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, Fla. 1970, 230 So.2d 149.

We have heard and considered oral argument of counsel for the respective parties, 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., CROSS, J., and MELVIN, WOODROW M., Associate Judge, concur.
