FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA

_____________________________

No. 1D20-3458 _____________________________

MAURICE PETERSON,

Appellant,

v.

STATE OF FLORIDA,

Appellee. _____________________________

On appeal from the Circuit Court for Gadsden County. Robert R. Wheeler, Judge.

April 8, 2021

PER CURIAM.

Appellant challenges the legitimacy of his conviction based on jury deliberations. Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800 is "not the correct procedural vehicle for attacking the merits of an underlying criminal conviction." Echeverria v. State, 949 So. 2d 331, 335 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007). Accordingly, the postconviction court correctly determined that the claims in the instant motion are not cognizable in a rule 3.800 motion. AFFIRMED.

B.L. THOMAS, OSTERHAUS, 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.

_____________________________ Maurice Peterson, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
