RICHARD GARCIA
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA

Fla. 3d DCA | 2019-07-31
No. 19-1167
Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2019) Positive Treatment


Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner, Richard Garcia, seeks a belated appeal of an order denying his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.1 “Accepting his allegations as true, he has not alleged a valid reason for obtaining a belated appeal.” Izquierdo v. State, 935 So. 2d 1243, 1245 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006) (citing Dalzell v. State, 922 So. 2d 247 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006) (holding that, in a belated appeal proceeding, the burden shifts to the State to respond only if the petitioner files a legally sufficient petition)); Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(c)(4); see also Cannon v. State, 763 So. 2d 1289 (Fla. 5th DCA 2000) (disallowing belated appeal where petitioner’s right to appeal was not frustrated by state action). Accordingly, we deny the petition.

Denied.

Footnotes
1 We treat the instant notice of belated appeal as a petition seeking belated appeal. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.040(c) & 9.141(c)(2); Robinson v. State, 981 So. 2d 1214 (Fla. 3d DCA 2008).
