Kenneth Jerome JENKINS, Petitioner(s) v. Kenneth S. TUCKER, etc., Respondent(s).


The petitioner has filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus with the Court. To the extent the petitioner seeks the kind of relief that should have been brought in a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, the petition is dismissed as unauthorized. See Baker v. State, 878 So.2d 1236 (Fla.2004). To the extent the petitioner seeks relief on a claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel on direct appeal, the petition is dismissed without prejudice to the petitioner seeking relief in the district court.

PARIENTE, LEWIS, QUINCE, LABARGA, and PERRY, JJ., concur.
