William Perry WALTON, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

William Perry Walton, Jr., Jasper, pro se. No appearance required for appellee.


William Perry Walton, Jr., Jasper, pro se.

No appearance required for appellee.

Per Curiam.

We affirm the order denying appellant's motion for postconviction relief because it was legally insufficient. We do note that the court erred in determining that it was untimely, as appellant had two years from the date of the circuit court's mandate on appellant's appeal in which to file his motion for relief. See Huff v. State , 569 So. 2d 1247, 1250–51 (Fla. 1990) ; Ghent v. State , 27 So. 3d 121, 123 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010).

Affirmed.

Warner, Gerber and Kuntz, JJ., concur.
