Caldwell v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided May 23, 1991 · Griffin, Peterson, Sharp
579 So. 2d 408; 1991 Fla. App. LEXIS 5095; 1991 WL 84231 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Caldwell v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Norman Caldwell appeals a final judgment of conviction for grand theft following a jury trial. His sole point on appeal is that his conviction resulted from ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Caldwell’s proper remedy is to file with the trial court a motion under rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. See State v. Barber, 301 So.2d 7 (Fla. 1974). We affirm the judgment and sentence without prejudice to the filing of a 3.850 motion with the circuit court.

AFFIRMED.

W. SHARP, PETERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur.
