Jessie Mae COATNEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 98-1626.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Aug. 17, 1999.
    Jessie Mae Coatney, pro se, for Appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General; Trina Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The order denying appellant’s motion for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of .Criminal Procedure, is affirmed without prejudice to appellant to file a motion for belated appeal.

BENTON AND VAN NORTWICK, JJ, CONCUR and KAHN, J, CONCURS AND DISSENTS WITH WRITTEN OPINION.

KAHN, J,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur in the affirmance of this appeal. I do not, however, concur with the court’s addition of the notation “without prejudice to appellant’s right to file a motion for belated appeal.” Nothing appears in appellant’s Rule 3.850 motion to suggest that she timely requested her lawyer to take an appeal from her sentence after a guilty plea. On the other hand, the transcripts attached by the trial court clearly established that appellant was fully advised of her right to an appeal and of her right to have a lawyer appointed for that purpose.
