826 So. 2d 435

Sims v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided August 16, 2002

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2002-08-16

Relies on 641 So. 2d 72 - Girard v. Singletary

Decided 2002-08-16

PER CURIAM.

¶1Gregory Sims seeks a second appeal of his conviction, alleging ineffective assis*436tance of appellate counsel. Sims’s conviction was affirmed on direct appeal in 1994. See Sims v. State, 641 So.2d 82 (Fla. 5th DCA 1994). Because a two-year limitation period applies to petitions alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, the petition Sims filed in 2002 is untimely. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(c)(4)(B). Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.

¶2DISMISSED.
