Opinion filed October 28, 2016

Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus,
A Case of Original Jurisdiction.

Vantice Lee Beshears, Jr., Ocala, pro se.

No Appearance for Respondent.


PER CURIAM.

       Vantice Lee Beshears, Jr., petitions this court seeking a writ of habeas corpus,

challenging the trial court's denial of his motion for post-trial release. We note that,

pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(h), appeals concerning post-trial

release must be raised by a motion in this court, not as a petition for habeas relief. Hirsch

v. State, 864 So. 2d 41 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003); DeGolyer v. Wainwright, 318 So. 2d 518,

519 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975). Accordingly, we construe the petition as a motion and deny it

without further discussion.
     PETITION CONSTRUED as MOTION and DENIED.


SAWAYA, EVANDER and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
