No. 80-1846.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Before BARKDULL, BASKIN and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.

Opinion:
BASKIN, Judge.
We affirm the trial court's summary denial of defendant Riley's Motion to Vacate his convictions and sentences entered pursuant to guilty pleas. We agree that defendant's Motion to Vacate filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, challenging the effectiveness of his counsel, was insufficient as a matter of law. Morrison v. State, 283 So.2d 137 (Fla. 2d DCA 1973). In light of our ruling, we need not address the other questions presented.
