Hankerson v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 16, 2001 · Orfinger, Peterson, Thompson
777 So. 2d 1188; 2001 Fla. App. LEXIS 1336; 2001 WL 127665 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hankerson v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

In this petition for belated appeal, the undisputed factual allegations show that petitioner’s appeal rights were frustrated when the order denying his petition for post-conviction relief was not received until May 16, 2000, leaving petitioner only one day in which to file a timely motion for rehearing to toll the time to appeal. Therefore, we grant the petition for belated appeal and reinstate petitioner’s appeal, Case No. 5D00-1831.

PETITION GRANTED.

THOMPSON, C.J., PETERSON and ORFINGER, R.B., JJ., concur.
