1Opinion of the Court
OWEN, Judge.
Appellant was convicted of two counts of sale of LSD and two counts of possession of LSD. An indigent, he promptly made known his desire to appeal. The public defender, although timely appointed to represent him for that purpose, filed notice of appeal untimely. Consequently, we have no jurisdiction of the direct appeal. We exercise the prerogative of treating the notice of appeal as a petition for writ of habeas corpus in order to afford delayed appellate review. Baggett v. Wainwright, Fla.1969, 229 So.2d 239 and Collins v. State, Fla.App.1970, 230 So.2d 711.
