1Opinion of the Court

SHARP, W., J.

Snow appeals from the trial court’s summary denial of his habeas corpus petition filed February 26, 2002. He claims his attorney was ineffective in prosecuting his motion filed February 2, 2000, which sought collateral relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, alleging newly discovered evidence.1

Ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel is not a cognizable claim. See Hammett v. State, 804 So.2d 522 (Fla. 5th *971DCA 2001). See also Waterhouse v. State, 792 So.2d 1176, 1193 (Fla.2001);

AFFIRMED.
