FRANKLIN CURTIS, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 2004-02-27
No. 2D03-2330
FULMER and SILBERMAN, JJ., Concur.
870 So. 2d 186 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (2004) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
DAVIS, Judge.

DAVIS, Judge.

Franklin Curtis challenges the order denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus. While habeas corpus is not the proper vehicle to address the claims raised by Curtis, they are cognizable in a motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. It is apparent from the trial court’s analysis that it treated Curtis’ claims as if they were raised in a postconviction motion. Accordingly, finding no error, we affirm without discussion.

Affirmed.

FULMER and SILBERMAN, JJ., Concur.
