District Court of Appeal of Florida June 25, 1997, No. 96-3078 (King v. State)

PER CURIAM.

We treat appellant’s notice of appeal as a petition for habeas corpus seeking a belated appeal pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140®- We grant appellant’s petition for a belated appeal.

Appellant contends the trial court erred when it denied his petition for habeas corpus wherein he claimed ineffective assistance of trial counsel. We affirm.
