Thomas v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided October 18, 1985

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1985-10-18

Relies on Strickland v. Washington · Knight v. State · 429 So. 2d 245 - Sanders v. State

Decided 1985-10-18

PER CURIAM.

¶1We affirm the denial by the trial court of defendant’s motion for post-conviction re*799lief filed pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.

¶2All of the grounds of the motion alleging ineffective assistance of counsel are either facially insufficient, see Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984); Knight v. State, 394 So.2d 997 (Fla. 1981), or were previously raised on defendant’s appeal and are therefore not proper grounds for the motion. The ground as to newly discovered evidence are not properly cognizable in a motion of this kind. Langston v. State, 444 So.2d 1156 (Fla. 2d DCA 1984). The ground as to defendant’s acquittal in another case is without merit. See Sanders v. State, 429 So.2d 245 (Miss.1983).

¶3Affirmed.
