No. 2D00-2537.

Joshua Neal, pro se.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Joshua Neal petitions this court for a belated appeal alleging his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to raise a sentencing error that was not preserved for appeal and not apparent from the face of the record. Neal's petition for a belated appeal is denied without prejudice to his filing a timely and legally sufficient motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel.
