CARTHEL JAMES RUSHING, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 1969-01-14
No. 68-447
Before CHARLES CARROLL, C. J., and PEARSON and BARKDULL, JJ.
218 So. 2d 481 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1969) Caution
Cited by 21 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder in 1959. He now appeals from an order denying his second motion for relief pursuant to Rule 1.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, 33 F.S.A. The sole ground for relief alleged is that he was deprived of the right to appeal the judgment of conviction in 1959.

Appellant’s petition fails to allege any error or irregularity in his trial; it was denied without hearing by the trial judge. We affirm for the reasons set forth in Murray v. State, Fla.App.1966, 191 So.2d 292; Nelson v. State, Fla.App.1968, 208 So.2d 506, 510; Pierson v. State, Fla.App.1968, 214 So.2d 17. See also Powe v. State, Fla. 1968, 216 So.2d 446 (opinion filed December 10, 1968).

Affirmed.
