1. “[T]he appellate court should grant a petition seeking a belated appeal if the defendant alleges that a timely request of counsel to file the notice of appeal was made and that counsel failed to do so. If the State raises a good faith basis to dispute the defendant’s claims through affidavit or specific contrary allegations, the appellate court may order an eviden-tiary hearing in the trial court to determine the limited disputed issues of fact.”

2. “Within thirty days of the date of the mandate in this case, appellant’s trial counsel shall file a notice of appeal, as required by Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(b)(5). Should trial counsel fail to comply, this court’s mandate will be treated as the notice of appeal. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.140(j)(5)(D). If appellant qualifies for appointed counsel, the trial court shall appoint counsel to represent appellant on appeal.”
