HASTINGS v. STATE (1999)

District Court of Appeal of Florida,First District.

Jeffrey Robert HASTINGS, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

No. 99-3104.

Decided: October 15, 1999

Jeffrey Robert Hastings, pro se, petitioner. Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondent.

Jeffrey Robert Hastings petitions for a writ of error coram nobis, contending that a plea he entered in 1974 was involuntary. Although he has completed the sentence, the conviction has been mentioned as a factor considered by the Florida Parole Commission in reaching its decision to not authorize an effective parole release date.

Hastings' remedy, if any, is a motion for post-conviction relief directed to the appropriate circuit court. Wood v. State, 24 Fla. L. Weekly S240, 750So.2d 592, 1999 WL 334750 (Fla. May 27, 1999); Bartz v. State, 24 Fla. L. Weekly D2019, 740 So.2d 1243 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Accordingly, we deny the petition (and petitioner's motions) without prejudice to Hastings' right to file a motion for post-conviction relief.
