District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Larry C. GOODMAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Nos. 1D16–5248

Decided: May 25, 2018

Andy Thomas, Public Defender, and Justin F. Karpf, Assistant Public Defender, Tallahassee, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Holly N. Simcox, Assistant Attorney General, and Sharon S. Traxler, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Affirmed. See Sheppard v. State, 17 So.3d 275, 286–87 (Fla. 2009) (agreeing that a trial court may strike pro se rule 3.170(l ) motion as a nullity unless the motion “contains specific allegations that give rise to an adversarial relationship, such as misadvice, affirmative misrepresentations, or coercion that led to the entry of the plea”); Echeverria v. State, 33 So.3d 802, 804 (Fla. 1st DCA 2010) (holding that a defendant's “broad, general allegations of ineffectiveness of his counsel do not indicate misadvice, coercion, or misrepresentation that would require a hearing under Sheppard.”).

Per Curiam.

Wolf, Winokur, and Jay, JJ., concur.
