FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                 STATE OF FLORIDA
                  _____________________________

                          No. 1D21-2053
                  _____________________________

DAVID B. ROBERTS,

    Petitioner,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Respondent.
                  _____________________________

Petition Alleging Ineffective Assistance of Appellate Counsel—
Original Jurisdiction.

                        September 22, 2021

PER CURIAM.

     The petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate
counsel is denied on the merits. See Topps v. State, 865 So. 2d 1253,
1258 (Fla. 2004) (explaining that a decision on an extraordinary
writ petition that “clearly shows that the issue was considered by
the court on the merits” is deemed a decision “which would later
bar the litigant from presenting the issue under the doctrines of
res judicata or collateral estoppel”).

RAY, JAY, and TANENBAUM, JJ., concur.
                 _____________________________

    Not final until disposition of any timely and
    authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
    9.331.
               _____________________________

David B. Roberts, pro se, Petitioner.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Respondent.
