Head Matter:
Vernon GOINS, Petitioner, v. STATE of Florida, Respondent.
No. 1D05-4904.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Nov. 30, 2005.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 17, 2006.
Vernon Goins, pro se, petitioner.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for respondent.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Vernon Goins petitions for a writ of habeas corpus and argues that his criminal conviction was obtained by the state's knowing use of perjured testimony and concealment of evidence favorable to the defense. He further contends that he only recently learned of these circumstances and that he could not have discovered the facts earlier.
A collateral attack on a criminal conviction based on newly discovered evidence must be made by a motion for postconvic tion relief filed in the trial court. Ortiz v. State, 895 So.2d 1100 (Fla. 3d DCA 2004). Accordingly, the instant petition is denied without prejudice to Goins' right to pursue that remedy.
PETITION DENIED.
DAVIS, BROWNING and LEWIS, JJ., concur.
