Before SHEPHERD, SUAREZ and LAGOA, JJ.
This is a direct appeal by the defendant, Israel Lake, of his conviction on charges of armed robbery with a firearm, armed burglary, and impersonating a police officer during the commission of a felony. The point raised in this direct appeal is a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel. We affirm the conviction without prejudice to Lake's ability to raise this point in a subsequently filed motion made pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.
