Houck v. Wainwright

Full title: JOHN LOUIE HOUCK, APPELLANT, v. LOUIE L. WAINWRIGHT, APPELLEE

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District

Date published: Jan 20, 1987

500 So. 2d 745 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. BL-174.

January 20, 1987.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Alachua County; Miller Lang, Judge.

Daniel T. O'Connell of O'Connell and Hulslander, Gainesville, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and John M. Koenig, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Houck appeals from his judgments and sentences imposed after jury trial. We have examined the points raised by the appellant and find them to be without merit. As to the appellant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, such claims are not generally reviewable by direct appeal; rather, such claims should be raised via a Fla.R.Cr.P. 3.850 motion. Kelley v. State, 486 So.2d 578, 585 (Fla. 1986).

AFFIRMED.

WENTWORTH, WIGGINTON and NIMMONS, JJ., concur.
