Opinion
FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________
No. 1D2024-1886 _____________________________
DARREL TYRONE MAYS,
Petitioner,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Respondent. _____________________________
Petition Alleging Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel— Original Jurisdiction.
December 23, 2024
PER CURIAM.
DISMISSED. Because the direct appeal from judgment and sentence is still pending review with the Florida Supreme Court, the petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel is premature. See Shirah v. State, 285 So. 3d 375 (Fla. 1st DCA 2019) (denying petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel as premature because judgment and sentence had not yet become final).
ROBERTS, NORDBY, and LONG, JJ., concur. _____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or 9.331. _____________________________
Darrel Tyrone Mays, pro se, Petitioner.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
