THOMPSON v. STATE

No. 4D10-4808.

88 So.3d 312 (2012)

Charles THOMPSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

May 2, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Charles Thompson , Belle Glade, pro se.

No appearance required for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

We affirm the circuit court's summary denial of appellant's Rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. The claims raised in the motion lack merit. We write to address two of the claims and to clarify the legal standard that applies to postconviction claims of ineffective assistance of counsel related to a defendant's competency to proceed to trial or to enter a plea. We affirm the denial of the remaining claims without discussion.
