Everett v. Singletary

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Aug 5, 1992
603 So. 2d 117 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 92-1633.

August 5, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, Richard I. Wennet, J.

Sherrod Everett, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Douglas J. Glaid, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.


We grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus for belated appeal. The petition alleges that the trial court failed to send petitioner a copy of the order denying his rule 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief within the time period for appealing the order. The certificate of service on the order of denial does not reflect that petitioner was served with a copy of the order. The lack of an appropriate certificate of service with the date of service shown therein corroborates petitioner's allegation. Accordingly, we agree that petitioner is entitled to a belated appeal. Ferrell v. Music, 484 So.2d 595 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985).

DOWNEY, STONE and FARMER, JJ., concur.
