No. 87-767.
March 8, 1989.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Polk County, Edward F. Threadgill, Jr., J.
James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and T. Orin Lee, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and William I. Munsey, Jr., Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.
The appellant's contention that he was misadvised as to the consequences of his nolo contendere plea is not properly presented in a direct appeal; it should be raised in the trial court on a motion to withdraw the plea or a motion to vacate pursuant to rule 3.850 of the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure.
The appeal is dismissed.
