Raul Emilio RODRIGUEZ, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 3D05-219.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    March 16, 2005.
    Raul Emilio Rodriguez, in proper person.
    Charles J. Crist, Jr. Attorney General, for respondent.
    Before GERSTEN, FLETCHER and SUAREZ, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Raul Emilio Rodriguez (“Rodriguez”), filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. Without addressing the merits, we deny Rodriguez’s petition because he filed it more than two years after his conviction became final and the petition does not contain a sworn statement alleging he was misled about the results of the appeal by counsel. Therefore, Rodriguez does not avoid the two year time bar of Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c)(4)(B). See McCray v. State, 699 So.2d 1366 (Fla.1997).
