Opinion
Roy L. BOWDEN, Petitioner,
v.
Harry K. SINGLETARY, Secretary of Florida Department of Corrections, Respondent.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Roy L. Bowden, in proper person.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Terri Leon-Benner, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.
Before NESBITT, GODERICH and SHEVIN, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
Roy L. Bowden seeks a writ of habeas corpus. We treat the petition as a petition for belated appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(j) and grant the petition. Bowden was not informed of his right to file a notice of appeal within thirty days of rendition, and he is therefore entitled to a belated appeal. See Williams v. Singletary, 723 So.2d 923 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Accordingly, we grant the petition.
Petition granted.
