Darden v. State

Darden v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 8, 1988 · Danahy, Frank, Ryder
526 So. 2d 208; 13 Fla. L. Weekly 1393; 1988 Fla. App. LEXIS 2379; 1988 WL 58079 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Darden v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from the trial court’s summary denial of the appellant’s motion for postconviction relief which alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. Although the trial judge erroneously ruled that appellant was not entitled to relief because his counsel was privately retained, see Cuyler v. Sullivan, 446 U.S. 335, 100 S.Ct. 1708, 64 L.Ed.2d 333 (1980); Chambers v. State, 388 So.2d 1259 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980), we, nevertheless, affirm the summary denial of the motion because it is facially insufficient to state a claim for ineffective assistance of counsel.

Affirmed.

DANAHY, C.J., and RYDER and FRANK, JJ., concur.
