QUENTIN JERARD WHITE v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2023)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

QUENTIN JERARD WHITE, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

No. 1D22-0040

Decided: October 04, 2023

Jessica J. Yeary, Public Defender, and Megan L. Long, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, and Michael McDermott, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Quentin Jerard White was sentenced to fifteen years in prison following his no-contest plea to manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. On appeal he claims that the plea was involuntary. A claim that a no-contest plea was involuntary cannot be considered on direct appeal unless preserved by a motion to withdraw the plea. Fla. R. App. P. 9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)c. White filed no such motion, so we must affirm the judgment and sentence.

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.

ROWE, RAY, and WINOKUR, JJ., concur.
