District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

March 17, 2010.

Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Tatjana Ostapoff, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Mark J. Hamel, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

The defendant appeals his conviction for possession of ammunition by a convicted felon.

We affirm the conviction, but without prejudice to allow him to raise the issue in a motion under Florida Rule Appellate Procedure 3.850.

Affirmed.
