1983 Fla. App. LEXIS 20803
Baskin, Ferguson, Hendry

Merritt v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The judgment and sentence are AFFIRMED. Generally, the claim of ineffective assistance of counsel is a matter that must first be presented to the trial court. State v. Barber, 301 So.2d 7 (Fla. 1974); Walker v. State, 399 So.2d 374 (Fla. 3d DCA 1981). The single recognized exception to the general rule is not applicable here. See Washington v. State, 419 So.2d 1100, 1100 n. 3 (Fla. 3d DCA 1982) discussing Foster v. State, 387 So.2d 344 (Fla. 1980).
