Williams v. State
Williams v. State
Opinion of the Court
We deny Williams’ petition for a belated appeal filed October 9, 2002 in this court. On advice of counsel, he dismissed his appeal from the criminal cases involved in this case.
In this current proceeding, Williams argues his trial counsel and his appellate counsel were ineffective. His attack on trial counsel is successive. In addition, we find that Williams’ attack on appellate counsel’s ineffectiveness is time barred by the two-year statute of limitations, and his failure to allege any special factual basis that he was affirmatively misled about the results of his appeal.
To the extent Williams is also asserting ineffective assistance of counsel in prosecuting the rule 3.850 motion, we are unable to recognize such a claim. See Shere v. State, 742 So.2d 215, 217 n. 6 (Fla. 1999); State v. Riechmann, 777 So.2d 342, 364 n. 22 (Fla. 2000).
