Rawls v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal January 22, 2003

Rawls v. State, 834 So. 2d 940 (2003)

2003 Fla. App. LEXIS 440; 2003 WL 141301

Edward, Northcutt, Silberman, Threadgill

Opinion of the Court

SILBERMAN, Judge.

Anthony P. Rawls appeals his conviction and sentence for lewd molestation. He argues that the trial court should have granted his motion for mistrial and that he is entitled to a new trial due to the ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. The State cross-appeals the trial court’s order granting Rawls’ motion in limine to exclude Williams1 rule evidence. We affirm as to all issues without comment except to note that our decision is without prejudice to Rawls’ filing a timely, legally sufficient motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 3.850 on the basis of ineffective assistance of counsel.

Affirmed.

NORTHCUTT and THREADGILL, EDWARD F., Senior Judge, Concur.

. Williams v. State, 110 So.2d 654, 660-62 (Fla. 1959).
