Tillman v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
May 4, 1966
186 So. 2d 257 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1966)

Opinion

No. 6851.

May 4, 1966.

Appeal from the Criminal Court of Record for Polk County, Roy H. Amidon, J.

James Timothy Tillman, in pro. per.

Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Robert R. Crittenden, Asst. Atty. Gen., Lakeland, for appellee.


Appellant, defendant below, appeals an order denying his motion to vacate judgment and sentence filed pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule No. 1, F.S.A. ch. 924 Appendix. Appellant's motion failed to allege that he was indigent and unable to employ counsel at the time he entered his plea. The motion was therefore legally insufficient. Hoffman v. State, 163 So.2d 797 (D.C.A.Fla. 1964), and cases cited therein.

The order appealed is therefore affirmed without prejudice to appellant's right to refile his motion.

Affirmed.

LILES, Acting C.J., and HOBSON and PIERCE, JJ., concur.
