JAMES TIMOTHY TILLMAN, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1966-05-04
No. 6851
LILES, Acting C. J., and HOBSON and PIERCE, JJ., concur.
186 So. 2d 257 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1966) Positive Treatment
Cited by 3 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, defendant below, appeals an order denying his motion to vacate judgment and sentence filed pursuant to Criminal Procedure Rule No. 1, F.S.A. ch. 924 Appendix. Appellant’s motion failed to allege that he was indigent and unable to employ counsel at the time he entered his plea. The motion was therefore legally insufficient. Hoffman v. State, 163 So.2d 797 (D.C.A.Fla.1964), and cases cited therein.

The order appealed is therefore affirmed without prejudice to appellant’s right to refile his motion.

Affirmed.

LILES, Acting C. J., and HOBSON and PIERCE, JJ., concur.
