Beck v. Wainwright
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 5, 1979 · Mills, Smith, Wentworth
381 So. 2d 1124; 1979 Fla. App. LEXIS 16365 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Beck v. Wainwright

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is a habeas corpus action alleging a violation of the petitioner’s privilege against self-incrimination. However, we are precluded from considering the issue since the petitioner was convicted upon a plea of guilty, and such a plea waives any non jurisdictional defect occurring prior to the entry of the plea. Ward v. State, 236 So.2d 187 (1st DCA 1970).

Petition denied.

MILLS, C. J., and LARRY G. SMITH and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.
