Opinion
No. 2D03-5554.
May 28, 2004. Rehearing Denied July 23, 2004.
Petition Alleging Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel, Lee County; Thomas S. Reese, Judge.
Dedrick Pope, pro se.
Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Richard M. Fishkin, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Respondent.
Dedrick Pope's petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel (PAIAAC) is denied without prejudice to Pope filing a timely motion to withdraw plea in the trial court, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We note that Pope filed a motion to withdraw plea, on November 14, 2001, which the trial court denied. Because that motion was based on other grounds, any new motion that asserts the claim raised in Pope's PAIAAC would not be successive.
Petition denied without prejudice.
FULMER, SILBERMAN, and KELLY, JJ., Concur.
