Febres v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 22, 2017 · Logue, Rothenberg, Salter
215 So. 3d 144; 2017 WL 1076925; 2017 Fla. App. LEXIS 3785 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Febres v. State

Opinion of the Court

LOGUE, J.

Juan Manuel Febres appeals the court’s order denying his rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. Because Febres has failed to satisfy the test for postconviction relief under Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), we affirm. See Mendoza v. State, 81 So.3d 579 (Fla. 3d DCA 2012) (noting that a strategic or tactical decision is not a valid basis for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim unless no competent counsel would have employed such tactics).

Affirmed.
