FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
                 STATE OF FLORIDA
                 _____________________________

                        No. 1D2022-2787
                 _____________________________

MARK ANTHONY HAUSER,

    Appellant,

    v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

    Appellee.
                 _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Dixie County.
Jennifer Jones Johnson, Judge.

                        November 29, 2023

PER CURIAM.

     Appellant appeals a judgment and sentence following a guilty
plea entered pursuant to a plea agreement with the State. He
argues trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance, so his entered
plea was involuntary. But Appellant did not file a motion to
withdraw plea. Accordingly, this issue is not preserved for appeal.
See State v. Dortch 317 So. 3d 1074, 1084 (Fla. 2021) (holding that
for appeals based on alleged incompetency at the guilty plea,
“there is no fundamental-error exception to the preservation
requirement of rule 9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)(c)”); Fla. R. App. P.
9.140(b)(2)(A)(ii)(c) (allowing appeal from “involuntary plea, if
preserved by a motion to withdraw plea” (emphasis added)).

    AFFIRMED.

OSTERHAUS, C.J., and KELSEY and M.K. THOMAS, JJ., concur.
               _____________________________

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