District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

762 So. 2d 989 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2000)

Opinion

No. 4D00-1449.

Opinion filed June 14, 2000. JANUARY TERM 2000

Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Susan Lebow, Judge; L.T. No. 84-7580CF10.

Richard L. Jorandby, Public Defender, and Ronald Farah, Atlanta, Georgia, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and No appearance required for appellee., Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the order of the trial court denying Appellant's Motion to Vacate and Set Aside Sentence as being legally insufficient. See State v. Shearer, 628 So.2d 1102 (Fla. 1993) (requiring such motions contain either a "Notarized Oath or "Unnotarized Oath.") and Brown v. State, 661 So.2d 95 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995) (holding the trial court properly denied defendant's motion as legally insufficient because it was neither under oath nor included the requisite contents set out in rule 3.850(c), Fla.R.App.P.) Furthermore, Appellant is procedurally barred from filing his 3.850 motion because his failure to file within the two-year time period is not based on "facts which were unknown to the defendant or his attorney, and could not have been ascertained by due diligence." Rule 3.850(b)(1).

We also deny Petitioner's writ for error coram nobis which he filed pursuant to Wood v. State, 750 So.2d 592.(Fla. 1999). See Hallman v. State, 371 So.2d 482 (Fla. 1979).

Affirmed and Denied.

STONE, KLEIN and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
