John Leon McPHEE, Petitioner, v. Richard L. DUGGER, Division of Corrections, State of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 87-1153.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    July 15, 1987.
    John Leon McPhee, pro se.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Jr., Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Georgina Jimenez-Orosa, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Petitioner was convicted and sentenced on or about November 17, 1986 for burglary of a dwelling and aggravated battery. The state agrees that petitioner has shown that he is entitled to belated appellate review. See Baggett v. Wainwright, 229 So.2d 239 (Fla.1969) and State v. Meyer, 430 So.2d 440 (Fla.1983).

Therefore we grant petitioner’s petition for writ of habeas corpus review. We remand this cause to the trial court with instructions to appoint appellate counsel in his belated appeal.

HABEAS CORPUS GRANTED.

DOWNEY, LETTS and DELL, JJ., concur.
