Contreras v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided January 15, 1969No. 68-161Published

1Opinion of the Court

PIERCE, Judge.

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction entered against appellant Joseph Contreras and his sentence of imprisonment at the State Prison.

Contreras was tried and found guilty by a jury after trial upon an information filed against him in the Manatee County Circuit Court, charging him with uttering a forged *618instrument. There are only two points urged here for reversal, viz: (1) insufficiency of the evidence to convict, and (2) whether such point is open to us for review. We will take these points up in reverse order.

No motion for new trial was filed on behalf of Contreras…
