Michael PREVATT, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    CASE NO. 1D17-2734
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed December 7, 2017
    
      Elizabeth J. Johnson of Halscott Mega-ro, P.A., Orlando, for Petitioner.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Petitioner entered a no contest plea to the charges of aggravated battery with great bodily harm and tampering with a witness. After sentencing, Petitioner attempted to withdraw his plea but his motion was denied. Petitioner alleges he requested his prior attorney to file a notice of appeal sometime before December 25, 2016. The deadline to file a notice of appeal was December 21, 2016. Because Petitioner’s undisputed allegation does not establish that he requested counsel to file a notice of appeal before the deadline, the petition for belated appeal is denied on the merits.
