Zold v. Zold

Petitioner seeks a writ of habeas corpus, alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. After trial, on October 29, 2003, petitioner was convicted of armed burglary, aggravated battery, and grand theft auto. Petitioner was adjudicated a habitual offender and was sentenced to life imprisonment. On appeal, counsel raised four issues, and the court affirmed per curiam. See Cochran v. State, 900 So. 2d 569 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). Petitioner filed a previous 3.800(a) motion to correct sentencing error, which was denied. Petitioner also filed a previous motion to mitigate sentence, which was also denied.
