Head Matter:
Lucion SPENCER a/k/a Leroy Johnson, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. SS-260.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
June 16, 1980.
Rehearing Denied Aug. 18, 1980.
Lucion Spencer, in pro. per., for appellant.
No appearance for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant's Rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, motion alleging ineffective assistance of counsel, denial of his right to appeal, and insufficiency of the evidence was properly denied.
Florida law is clear that one may not attack the competency of privately retained counsel, Cappetta v. Wainwright, 203 So.2d 609 (Fla. 1967); O'Quinn v. State, 364 So.2d 775 (Fla. 1st DCA 1978); but see Cuyler v. Suilivan, - U.S. -, 100 S.Ct. 1708, 64 L.Ed.2d 333 (1980). There is nothing in the record to indicate that state action was involved in any denial of the right to appeal, Hollingshead v. Wainwright, 194 So.2d 577 (Fla. 1967), and insufficiency of the evidence is not properly raised on a post-conviction motion, Glenn v. State, 271 So.2d 23 (Fla. 2d DCA 1972).
ROBERT P. SMITH, Jr., ERVIN and WENTWORTH, JJ., concur.
