Curtis v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Feb 27, 2004
870 So. 2d 186 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2004)

Opinion

Case No. 2D03-2330.

Opinion filed February 27, 2004. Rehearing Denied March 23, 2004.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County, Daniel Lee Perry, 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.
