BLACK v. STATE (2021)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

DeAndre BLACK, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D20-2405

Decided: December 15, 2021

Thomas J. Butler of Thomas J. Butler, P.A., Miami Beach, for appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Deborah Koenig, West Palm Beach, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

We affirm without discussion the circuit court's denial of the defendant's motions to withdraw his guilty pleas to one count of leaving the scene of a crash involving injury, two counts of trafficking in various illegal substances while possessing a firearm, five counts of sale of various illegal substances while possessing a firearm, and one count of felon possessing a firearm. This affirmance is without prejudice to the defendant filing a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion seeking an evidentiary hearing on the alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. We make no comment on whether such a motion would have merit.

Affirmed without prejudice.

Per Curiam.

Warner, Gerber and Levine, JJ., concur.
