Barber v. State

Barber v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 28, 2009 · Hawkes, Wolf, Browning
16 So. 3d 1003; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 13073; 2009 WL 2777249 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Barber v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The petition seeking belated appeal is denied on the merits. Petitioner’s claims concerning alleged errors by the trial court and ineffectiveness on the part of his trial counsel are denied inasmuch as these are matters properly raised by motion for postconviction relief, and habeas corpus will not lie as a substitute for such a motion. See Brown v. Crosby, 908 So.2d 512 (Fla. 1st DCA 2005).

HAWKES, C.J., WOLF and BROWNING, JJ., concur.
