IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED MICHAEL NIEMI, Petitioner, v. Case No. 5D20-598 STATE OF FLORIDA, Respondent. ________________________________/ Opinion filed August 28, 2020 Petition Alleging Ineffectiveness of Appellate Counsel, A Case of Original Jurisdiction. Michael Niemi, Crestview, Pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison Leigh Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Respondent. PER CURIAM. Michael Niemi petitions this Court seeking a new appeal, raising two claims of ineffective assistance of his appellate counsel. We find no merit to the claims raised by Niemi and deny his petition. We write only to note the order revoking Niemi’s sex offender probation mistakenly lists the curfew violation found by the court to be a violation of condition 14 when it was actually a violation of condition 29. We direct the trial court to amend this scrivener’s error in the order of revocation. PETITION DENIED. EVANDER, C.J., HARRIS and TRAVER, JJ., concur. 2
