Doyle v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided January 4, 2012No. 3D11-2861Published

1Per curiam

The defendant’s motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800 was denied by the trial court. Because the motion challenges the defendant’s conviction rather than his sentence, we treat his motion as a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. See, e.g., Rivas v. State, 43 So.3d 154, 156 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010); Hilbert v. State, 661 So.2d 895, 895-96 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995). The motion was untimely on its face and thus properly denied.

Affirmed.
