BOWDEN v. SINGLETARY (1999)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,Third District.

Roy L. BOWDEN, Petitioner, v. Harry K. SINGLETARY, Secretary of Florida Department of Corrections, Respondent.

No. 98-2747

Decided: February 03, 1999

Before NESBITT, GODERICH and SHEVIN, JJ.

Roy L. Bowden, in proper person. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Terri Leon-Benner, Assistant Attorney General, for respondent.

Roy L. Bowden seeks a writ of habeas corpus. We treat the petition as a petition for belated appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(j) and grant the petition. Bowden was not informed of his right to file a notice of appeal within thirty days of rendition, and he is therefore entitled to a belated appeal. See Williams v. Singletary, 723 So.2d 923 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Accordingly, we grant the petition.

Petition granted.
