Evans v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 14, 1986 · Anstead, Dell, Hersey
488 So. 2d 636; 11 Fla. L. Weekly 1128; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 7773 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Evans v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s denial, after an evidentiary hearing, of the appellant’s motion for post-conviction relief. We do so out of deference to the trial court’s fact-finding authority on the disputed issues of fact tried at the hearing. There is competent, substantial evidence in the record to support the trial court’s conclusion that appellant’s trial counsel was not ineffective. Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984).

HERSEY, C.J., ANSTEAD and DELL, JJ., concur.
