PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Zeidwig v. Ward, 548 So.2d 209 (Fla. 1989) (where court determined that criminal defendant received effective assistance of counsel, defendant/attorney in subsequent civil malpractice action may defensively assert collateral estoppel); State v. Viscioso, 709 So.2d 650 (Fla.3d DCA 1998) (affirming on appeal and cross appeal order granting Rule 3.850 relief); Johnson v. Raban, 702 S.W.2d 134, 138 (Mo.Ct.App. E.D. 1985) (effective administration of justice would be undermined if prior decision on same issue is ignored).
