KARLI ANN BEGLAN v. STATE OF FLORIDA (2023)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

KARLI ANN BEGLAN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

No. 2D22-1589

Decided: March 31, 2023

Karli Ann Beglan, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James A. Hellickson, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellee.

Karli Ann Beglan appeals the judgment and sentence rendered after she pleaded guilty to one count of driving under the influence. On appeal Ms. Beglan raises a number of claims related to whether her plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily. She also raises claims of ineffective assistance of counsel, which she asserts resulted in her involuntary plea.

This court cannot review these issues on direct appeal where Ms. Beglan failed to preserve them in a motion to withdraw plea filed in the trial court. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.140(b)(2)(A). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment and sentence without prejudice to Ms. Beglan filing an appropriate motion for postconviction relief. See Miller v. State, 664 So. 2d 1066, 1067 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995); White v. State, 682 So. 2d 671, 672 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996); see also Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850.

PER CURIAM.

KELLY, KHOUZAM, and SMITH, JJ., Concur.
