Myers v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

762 So. 2d 593 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 4D00-2227

Opinion filed July 26, 2000 JULY TERM 2000

Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Martin County; Cynthia G. Angelos, Judge; L.T. Case No. 98-754CF.

Robert G. Udell, Stuart, for appellant.

No appearance required for appellee.


We affirm the trial court's order denying postconviction relief without a hearing. The allegation that appellant's plea was involuntary because appellant "suffered considerable mental anguish which accelerated cognitive impediments attributable to various negative mental problems suffered by an elderly person" is facially insufficient. See Baker v. State, 404 So.2d 1151 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981) ("mental disorder" and other such terms, unrelated to objective symptoms and time and place of trial are mere vague claims and conclusions). Appellant's allegation that his counsel also suffered mental problems is not related to any claim of ineffectiveness on counsel's part and is also facially insufficient.

WARNER, C.J., STONE and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
