Opinion of the Court
The appellant, Martin Drymon, challenges the trial court’s order denying his motion to withdraw his plea filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The appellant raises two claims. We reverse and remand for further proceedings on the appellant’s claim that his plea was involuntarily entered because trial counsel erroneously advised him that he qualified to be sentenced as a habitual offender. We, however, affirm the trial court’s denial of his claim that his plea was involuntary because the amendments to
The appellant entered a plea to sexual battery and was sentenced, pursuant to a plea bargain, to twenty years’ prison as a habitual offender.
Regarding the appellant’s second claim, Gwong v. Singletary, 683 So.2d 109 (Fla. 1996), held the amended rule 33-11.0065 to be invalid. We, therefore, affirm the trial court’s denial of this claim. See Azmoe v. State, 687 So.2d 70 (Fla.3d DCA 1997).
. The appellant also, on the same day, pleaded guihy to violating his communily control and received a concurrent sentence. The appellant's 3.850 motion addressed only the new charge.
