No. 68-25 | Fla. Dist. Ct. App. | May 17, 1968
Petitioner is appealing from the summary denial of his Criminal Procedure Rule No. 1 motion. In order to obtain post-conviction relief under Rule No. 1 (now R.Cr.P. 1.850, 33 F.S.A.), it is necessary that one seeking such relief be in custody by virtue of the sentence appealed from. An appeal from a judgment denying a motion for post-conviction relief under Rule No. 1 becomes moot upon completion of the service of the sentence. Desrosiers v.
