Opinion
Because appellant did not present any evidence to suggest that her attorney had been ineffective for failing to file a timely notice of appeal from the disposition order terminating her parental rights, we affirm the denial of her petition for a writ of habeas corpus seeking a belated appeal. Cf. In the Interest of E.H., 609 So.2d 1289 (Fla.1992) (holding that a parent is entitled to a belated appeal from an order terminating parental rights when failure to file a [275]*275timely notice of appeal is attributable to negligence or inadvertence on the part of trial counsel). We do not reach the remaining point raised by appellant.
AFFIRMED.
