District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided September 28, 2007.

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2007-09-28

Relies on Moore v. State

Decided 2007-09-28

¶1Donald E. Sargent, Cross City, pro se.

¶2Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kellie A. Nielan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent.

¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4Donald Sargent has filed a petition in this court seeking a writ of habeas corpus requesting a belated appeal. We deny the petition without prejudice to refile a legally sufficient petition. The instant petition, although executed with proper legal formality, fails to allege that Sargent requested his attorney to file an appeal on his behalf in a timely manner. If he failed to make a timely request for an appeal,[1] he is not entitled to receive a belated appeal.

¶5Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus DENIED without prejudice.

¶6PALMER, C.J., SAWAYA and TORPY, JJ., concur.
