Petition for Belated Appeal—Original Jurisdiction.

September 21, 2022

PER CURIAM.

The Court denies Petitioner’s amended petition for belated appeal because it does not articulate a sufficient factual basis demonstrating an entitlement to belated appeal as required by Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c)(4)(F). See Williams v. State, 79 So. 3d 882 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012).

KELSEY, JAY, and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
