v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENT

Fla. 1st DCA | 2008-07-30
No. 1D08-1168
ALLEN, DAVIS, and HAWKES, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner presents a timely claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. The state concedes that appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to obtain transcripts of hearings concerning petitioner’s request to discharge counsel and for failing to argue that the trial court failed to renew the offer of counsel at sentencing as required by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.111(d)(5). See Traylor v. State, 596 So. 2d 957 (Fla.1992). We grant petitioner a new appeal. A copy of this opinion shall be filed with the trial court and treated as the notice of appeal. If petitioner qualifies for appointed counsel, the trial court shall appoint new counsel to represent petitioner on appeal.

ALLEN, DAVIS, and HAWKES, JJ., concur.

    …575 (Fla. 2008). Thus, appellate counsel provides ineffective assistance by not raising the issue on appeal. Henretty v. State, 146 So. 3d 55, 56 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (finding appellate counsel ineffective and ordering a new appeal); Blane v. State, 987 So. 2d 241, 241 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008) (same).
