Opinion
FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________ No. 1D17-3655 _____________________________ MICHAEL J. MARTIN, Petitioner, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. _____________________________
Petition Alleging Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel— Original Jurisdiction.
October 31, 2018
PER CURIAM.
DENIED.
OSTERHAUS and WINSOR, JJ., concur; WOLF, J., dissents with opinion. _____________________________ Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________ WOLF, J., dissenting.
I would grant the petition for ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. See Andujar-Ruiz v. State, 205 So. 3d 803 (Fla. 2d DCA 2016) (holding appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to argue trial court’s instruction on duty to retreat constituted fundamental error).
_____________________________ Michael J. Martin, pro se, Petitioner.
