Heading: Sufficiency of Evidence to Support Davis's Robbery Conviction

Text: Davis alleges that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for robbery and that his appellate counsel was ineffective for failing to present this claim on direct appeal. This claim is without merit. In our opinion affirming Davis's conviction on direct appeal, we specifically addressed Davis's robbery conviction and stated that [a]lthough appellant does not challenge his grand theft and robbery convictions, they are supported by competent substantial evidence in the record and we affirm them. Davis v. State, 586 So.2d 1038, 1039 n. 1 (Fla.1991). Given our conclusion that there was competent, substantial evidence to support Davis's robbery conviction, appellate counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise this meritless issue on appeal. See Duncan, 894 So.2d at 831; Johnson, 695 So.2d at 267.
