Rozar v. State

W. SHARP, Judge.

Rozar petitions for belated appeal of the circuit court’s order denying his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. He alleges in his sworn petition that he prepared a notice of appeal of the circuit court’s order, had it notarized on May 13, 1997, and left it with the Department of Corrections to be mailed on that date.
