District Court of Appeal of Florida July 26, 2002, No. 1D02-1442 (Hardy v. State)

PER CURIAM.

This petition seeks belated appeal of a judgment and sentence. Although a timely notice of appeal was originally filed, appellate counsel failed to file a docketing statement and failed to respond to this court’s order to pay the filing fee or obtain a certifícate of indigency. The result was dismissal of the direct appeal. This constitutes ineffective assistance of appellate counsel.
