Massey v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District
Aug 13, 1982
417 So. 2d 1162 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

No. AI-366.

August 13, 1982.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Okaloosa County, G. Robert Barron, J.

Michael Allen, Public Defender, Nancy A. Daniels, Asst. Public Defender, Tallahassee, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn M. Snurkowski, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, for appellee.


This appeal is dismissed because no direct appeal lies from a judgment and sentence based on a guilty plea, Rule 9.140(b), Fla.R. App.P., and because appellant failed to make a prior motion to withdraw his guilty plea in the court below. Robinson v. State, 373 So.2d 898 (Fla. 1979). This dismissal is, however, without prejudice to appellant's filing an appropriate motion for post-conviction relief, pursuant to Rule 3.850, Fla.R. Crim.P. See, Graff v. State, 389 So.2d 333 (Fla. 5th DCA 1980); Counts v. State, 376 So.2d 59 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1979); Honeycutt v. State, 359 So.2d 503 (Fla. 2nd DCA 1978).

DISMISSED.

ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., C.J., and LARRY G. SMITH and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.
