LAGOA, J.
The Petitioner, Juan Alvarez (Alvarez), filed a petition seeking a belated appeal pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c). For the following reasons, we deny the petition.
On November 22, 2017, this Court appointed a commissioner to hold a limited evidentiary hearing in order to determine whether Alvarez requested that his counsel file an appeal from his plea and sentence. See Alvarez v. State, 230 So.3d 625, 626 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017). On December 21, 2017, the commissioner held an evidentiary hearing where both Alvarez and his former counsel, Alejandro Zamora (Zamora), testified. The State proceeded to file the Commissioners Report from that hearing with this Court.
The commissioner made several factual findings. Specifically, the commissioner found that Defendants attorney, Mr. Zamora, took detailed notes at the time of the plea and that Zamora credibly testified the Defendant did not ask him to file an appeal nor was it referenced in his detailed notes. The commissioner further found that Alvarez was not credible and that various statements he made during the evidentiary hearing were in fact refuted by the prior record, including the Order of Probation as well as the February 10, 2017, plea and sentencing hearing transcript. Based on these findings, the commissioner found that Alvarez did not request for his attorney to file a direct appeal. We accept the commissioners recommendation and deny Alvarezs petition for belated appeal. See Svoboda v. State, 932 So.2d 545, 547 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006).
Petition denied.
