ROBERT HARRIS, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2002-10-30
No. 3D01-3073
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and RAMIREZ, J, and NESBITT, Senior Judge.
829 So. 2d 328 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2002) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

[*329] PER CURIAM.

We affirm the denial of Robert Harris’ petition as untimely filed. Even though Harris labeled his petition as one for writ of error coram nobis, all of his allegations pertain to ineffective assistance of counsel in connection with pleas entered on December 8, 1980, and March 21, 1987. The proper pleading which Harris should have filed was a motion under rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. The trial court, therefore, properly denied the petition as untimely. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.850(b).

Affirmed.
