Harold Pompee,
Appellant,
vs.
The State of Florida,
Appellee.
An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the
Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, John Schlesinger, Judge.
Harold Pompee, in proper person.
Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee.
Before LINDSEY, HENDON, and MILLER, JJ.
HENDON, J.
Harold Pompee appeals from the trial court’s summary denial of his motion
to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure
3.800(a). The defendant’s 2013 sentence is not illegal, and thus he is not entitled to
relief under that rule. Furthermore, the record conclusively refutes the defendant’s
claim that he was sentenced pursuant to chapter 916, Florida Statutes (2013), as he
was found to be competent at the time he accepted the negotiated plea. We therefore
affirm the trial court’s denial of the defendant’s motion to correct an illegal sentence.
Affirmed.
