Supreme Court of Florida

Milo A. Rose, Appellant v. State of Florida, Appellee.

July 19, 2018249 So. 3d 547

Summary

The court affirmed the order dismissing Rose's postconviction proceedings and discharging collateral counsel. It held that the postconviction court properly determined, after the required inquiry, that Rose knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived both counsel and postconviction relief, and that this determination was not an abuse of discretion. Justice Pariente, dissenting, would have reversed because Rose did not unequivocally understand that the waiver would foreclose claims based on future changes in the law.
