Allen A. HAMMETT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 5D01-3478.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Dec. 28, 2001.
    
      Kurt Erlenbach, Titusville, for Appellant.
    No Appearance for Appellee.
   GRIFFIN, J.

Appellant, Allen A. Hammett, appeals the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief based on a claim of ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel. We affirm for two reasons: first, ineffective assistance of post-conviction counsel is not a cognizable claim. Waterhouse v. State, 792 So.2d 1176, 1193 (Fla.2001); State v. Riechmann, 777 So.2d 342, 364 n. 22 (Fla.2000). Second, there is no colorable merit to the claim.

AFFIRMED.
