Andrew L. Bush, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., and Richard E. Doran, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

State, 394 So. 2d 215 (Fla. 1st DCA 1981). The court‘s order is AFFIRMED without prejudice to appellant‘s right to file a petition for appropriate relief in the proper court. State v. Sampson, 297 So. 2d 120, 122 (Fla. 4th DCA 1974).

NIMMONS and MINER, JJ., concur.
