HAMMETT v. STATE (2001)

Appellant, Allen A. Hammett, appeals the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief based on a claim of ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel.   We affirm for two reasons:  first, ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel is not a cognizable claim.  Waterhouse v. State, 792 So.2d 1176, 1193 (Fla.2001);  State v. Riechmann, 777 So.2d 342, 364 n. 22 (Fla.2000).   Second, there is no colorable merit to the claim.

AFFIRMED.
