Petition for Belated Appeal, A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Cheri L. Hastings, Ocala, pro se.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Rebecca Rock McGuigan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Cheri Hastings seeks a belated appeal of her judgments and sentences in case numbers 2020-CF-314-AXMX, 2020-CF-313-AXMX, 2020-CF-316- AXMX, 2020-CF-315-AXMX, and 2019-CF-2037-AXMX. Hastings alleges that she timely requested her trial counsel to file an appeal and counsel failed to do so.

Having appointed a commissioner who rendered a report following an evidentiary hearing, we grant Hastings’ request for a belated appeal.

PETITION GRANTED.

COHEN, SASSO and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur.
