Rodriguez v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 17, 2009 · Cope, Shepherd, Wells
11 So. 3d 459; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 7617; 2009 WL 1675511 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Rodriguez v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Nelson R. Rodriguez appeals his convictions for one count of sexual battery on a child under the age of twelve and one count of sexual activity with a child by a person in familial or custodial authority. The appellant requests that we find trial counsel to have been ineffective for failing to object to the introduction of certain collateral crimes evidence, and failing to move for a mistrial. We decline to entertain these claims on direct appeal. See Smith v. State, 998 So.2d 516, 522-23 (Fla. 2008); Antunes-Salgado v. State, 987 So.2d 222, 224-25 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008).

Affirmed.
