Jeffrey Robert HASTINGS, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 99-3104.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Oct. 15, 1999.
    Jeffrey Robert Hastings, pro se, petitioner.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Jeffrey Robert Hastings petitions for a writ of error coram nobis, contending that a plea he entered in 1974 was involuntary. Although he has completed the sentence, the conviction has been mentioned as a factor considered by the Florida Parole Commission in reaching its decision to not authorize an effective parole release date.

Hastings’ remedy, if any, is a motion for post-conviction relief directed to the appropriate circuit court. Wood v. State, 24 Fla. L. Weekly S240, — So.2d-, 1999 WL 334750 (Fla. May 27,1999); Barbz v. State, 24 Fla. L. Weekly D2019, 740 So.2d 1243 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999). Accordingly, we deny the petition (and petitioner’s motions) without prejudice to Hastings’ right to file a motion for post-conviction relief.

ERVIN, MINER and KAHN, JJ., concur.
