¶1Roy L. Bowden, in proper person.

¶2Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Terri Leon-Benner, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

¶3Before NESBITT, GODERICH and SHEVIN, JJ.

¶4PER CURIAM.

¶5Roy L. Bowden seeks a writ of habeas corpus. We treat the petition as a petition for belated appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(j) and grant the petition. Bowden was not informed of his right to file a notice of appeal within thirty days of rendition, and he is therefore entitled to a belated appeal. See Williams v. Singletary,723 So.2d 923 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Accordingly, we grant the petition.

¶6Petition granted.
