Opinion
Broadus Stallings petitions this Court seeking a belated appeal. His petition is precluded, however, by his prior timely appeal. See Stallings v. State, 172 So.3d 886 (Fla. 5th DCA 2015). While Stall-ings’s intent in filing the petition might have been to challenge the effectiveness of his appellate counsel, a petition seeking a belated appeal is not the proper vehicle for such a challenge. See Rutherford v. Moore, 774 So.2d 637, 643 (Fla.2000) (explaining that habeas petitions are the proper means to present claims of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel).
PETITION DISMISSED.
