Farmer v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided January 4, 1985 · Anstead, Glickstein, Letts
462 So. 2d 82; 10 Fla. L. Weekly 129; 1985 Fla. App. LEXIS 11799 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Farmer v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Petition for writ of habeas corpus is granted to make possible petitioner’s belated appeal. Failure of his previous attorney to file a timely notice of appeal prior to his withdrawal from the representation, though inadvertent, constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. Fla.R.App.P. *839.140(b)(3) and State v. Meyer, 430 So.2d 440 (Fla. 1983).

ANSTEAD, C.J., and LETTS and GLICKSTEIN, JJ., concur.
