Howard v. State

SHARP, W., J.

Howard has filed a petition with this court requesting a belated appeal. Howard pled guilty in the trial court to possession of a controlled substance1 and resisting arrest without violence.2 He was adjudicated guilty of both charges and sentenced. Howard argues in this petition that his trial counsel was ineffective because he was advised to plead guilty to both charges without reserving his right to appeal the trial court’s denial of his motion to suppress evidence. We deny the petition without prejudice to Howard to seek an appropriate remedy, if available to him.

Howard fails…
