FRANCHOT BROWN, APPELLANT,
v.
THE STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 3d DCA | 2009-05-27
No. 3D07-1592
Before COPE and WELLS, JJ., and SCHWARTZ, Senior Judge.
11 So. 3d 440 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (2009)


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Defendant-appellant Franchot Brown appeals an order denying a motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, following an evi-dentiary hearing. In his postconviction motion, the defendant argued that his counsel was ineffective in that his attorney ignored an obvious defense, failed to prepare defendant to testify at trial, and “opened the door” to defendant being impeached with evidence of other crimes. The trial court denied relief following an evidentiary hearing.

Because the trial court’s ruling is supported by competent substantial evidence, we affirm the order denying relief. See Montenegro v. State, 876 So.2d 709 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004); Machin v. State, 867 So.2d 514 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004); Williams v. State, 808 So.2d 267 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002).

Affirmed.
