Head Matter:
James Paul BRYANT, Jr., Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 97-3555.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
Dec. 11, 1998.
Rehearing Denied Jan. 21, 1999.
Daniel S. Ciener and David J. Romett and Andy M. Fouehe’ of Law Firm of Daniel S. Ciener, Merritt Island, for Appellant.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kelli R. Orndorff and Ann M. Phillips, Assistant Attorneys General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
James Paul Bryant appeals from the denial, after an evidentiary hearing, of his rule 3.850 motion alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Because the error asserted would have required trial counsel to take a position in direct conflict with then controlling case law in this district and would also have required the trial attorney to move for discharge pursuant to Florida's "speedy trial" rule while knowing that he was unprepared for trial, we agree with the trial judge that Bryant's attorney was not ineffective and affirm.
AFFIRMED.
DAUKSCH, GOSHORN and THOMPSON, JJ., concur.
