PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a denial of an application for ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍relief pursuant to the provisions of Criminal Procedure Rule No. 1 F.S.A. ch. 924 Appendix. We affirm.

It appears, from the transcript of ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍the trial proceedings, that the appellant had counsel at the time of the trials which resulted in the convictions involved here. Therefore, having ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍had counsel at the time of his trials [even though he may have plead guilty] there is no merit to his contention that ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍he was denied due process because counsel could have made appropriate motions to have the pleas of guilty set aside. See: § 909.13, ‍‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌​​​‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‍Fla.Stat., F.S.A.; Jackman v. State, Fla.App.1964, 160 So.2d 554, and authorities cited therein.

Affirmed.
