HASTINGS v. STATE (2022)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Cheri L. HASTINGS, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.

Case No. 5D22-0076

Decided: May 13, 2022

Cheri L. Hastings, Ocala, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Rebecca Rock McGuigan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Cheri Hastings seeks a belated appeal of her judgments and sentences in case numbers 2020-CF-314-AXMX, 2020-CF-313-AXMX, 2020-CF-316-AXMX, 2020-CF-315-AXMX, and 2019-CF-2037-AXMX. Hastings alleges that she timely requested her trial counsel to file an appeal and counsel failed to do so.

Having appointed a commissioner who rendered a report following an evidentiary hearing, we grant Hastings’ request for a belated appeal.
