Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 3, 2005 · Kelly, Villanti, Wallace
903 So. 2d 1008; 2005 Fla. App. LEXIS 8278; 2005 WL 1307794 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Cook v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Alexander v. State, 830 So.2d 899 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002). As this court did in Alexander, we certify the same question of great public importance:

ARE ALLEGATIONS OF AFFIRMATIVE MISADVICE BY TRIAL COUNSEL ABOUT THE SENTENCE ENHANCING CONSEQUENCES OF A DEFENDANT’S PLEA FOR FUTURE CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR IN AN OTHERWISE FACIALLY SUFFICIENT MOTION COGNIZABLE AS AN INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL CLAIM?

Affirmed; question certified.

KELLY, VILLANTI, and WALLACE, JJ., Concur.
