DONALD ASHWORTH, PETITIONER,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, RESPONDENT

Fla. 5th DCA | 2010-08-13
No. 5D10-2355
MONACO, C.J., TORPY and EVANDER, JJ., concur.

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner Donald C. Ashworth entered into a negotiated plea and was sentenced on April 28, 2006. His petition for belated appeal, filed on July 9, 2010, is untimely because it was not filed within the two-year time period and does not meet the requirements of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c)(4)(A). Therefore, Ash-worth’s petition is dismissed. See Dickson v. State, 22 So.3d 547 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009); Brown v. State, 826 So.2d 1047 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002). While the untimeliness of his petition is dispositive, we note that, additionally, the petition is facially insufficient because it does not comply with Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c)(3), including the fact that it is missing a proper oath, sworn to under penalty of perjury.

DISMISSED.

MONACO, C.J., TORPY and EVANDER, JJ., concur.

    …lewd or lascivious molestation as separate offenses. We are confident that if the legislature intended to punish sexual battery and simultaneous lewd and lascivious touching separately, it will amend the statutes accordingly. See Aldacosta v. State, 41 So. 3d 1096, 1097 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010). Conclusion We reverse and remand for the trial court to vacate Mr. Drawdy’s conviction [*172] for lewd or lascivious molestation.

  • Osborn v. State, 177 So. 3d 1034 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015)
    …felony battery.” § 784.03(2), Fla. Stat. The statute does not expressly reference sexual battery as a qualifying offense, so the question is whether it can be considered a battery for purposes of reclassification. The decision in Aldacosta v. State, 41 So. 3d 1096 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010), which addressed whether a lewd and lascivious battery is a qualifying offense, is instructive. Because section 784.03(2) did not explicitly include lewd and lascivious battery, the Second District reasoned that “if lewd or lasciv…
