    Terrence ENNIS, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Florida, Respondent.
    No. 3D06-707.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 17, 2006.
    Terrence Ennis, pro se.
    Charles J. Crist, Attorney General, for appellee.
    Before GERSTEN, FLETCHER and CORTIÑAS, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

Terrence Ennis (“Ennis”), seeks a belated appeal, pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c). Ennis claims that he requested counsel to file a notice of appeal in his criminal case 03-160, and that counsel failed to do so. We deny the petition because Ennis did not swear to it as required by law. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(c)(3)(f); Cosby v. State, 911 So.2d 275 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005). Accordingly, we deny the petition without prejudice to Ennis filing a properly sworn petition.

Petition for belated appeal denied.
