Soirelus v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 10, 2000 · Antoon, Harris, Peterson
751 So. 2d 776; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 2592; 2000 WL 263182 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Soirelus v. State

Opinion of the Court

HARRIS, J.

Having considered this habeas corpus petition on the merits (we thus deny the State’s motion to dismiss based on petitioner’s failure to timely file a brief after directed to do so), we affirm the trial court’s denial of relief because the grounds asserted herein could have and should have been raised on direct appeal. See *777Bryan v. Dugger, 641 So.2d 61 (Fla. 1994); Gray v. Wainwright, 442 So.2d 312 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983).

AFFIRMED.

ANTOON, C.J., and PETERSON, J., concur.
