Belin v. State
Belin v. State
Opinion of the Court
On appeal from an order denying without evidentiary hearing motion to vacate judgment and sentence appellant raises two points, neither of which require reversal of the order.
Appellant’s first point is that the court erred in denying his motion without a hearing when the record clearly shows that at the time of trial he was un unmarried minor and his parents were not in court. The record affirmatively shows that almost eight weeks prior to appellant’s trial and conviction the statutorily required notice
“Where as here the parents of an unmarried minor receive notice of the offenses charged against such a minor, then that minor may be arraigned, tried, convicted or sentenced at any time after a reasonable period from the notice including second or successive proceedings on the same charges without any further notice to his parents.”
Appellant’s second point is that the court erred in the denial of his motion to vacate by failing to note from the record that appellant was not advised of his right to appeal following his original conviction. The motion to vacate did not contain any allegation to the effect that the trial court failed to advise appellant of his right to appeal from the original conviction, and thus this question is not properly before the court. Dozier v. State, Fla.App.1966, 192 So.2d 506. We take note of the fact that appellant now has pending in this court a petition for writ of habeas corpus (Case No. 71-257) in which he alleges state action frustrated his right to appeal from his original conviction.
