    Robert EDWARDS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 82-330.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    April 19, 1983.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Eric William Hendon, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Scott A. Silver, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and NESBITT and BASKIN, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendant was convicted of first degree murder. His sole contention is that his attorney’s failure to request a jury instruction on the defense of intoxication deprived him of the effective assistance of counsel. Since such a claim may not be considered on this direct appeal, State v. Barber, 301 So.2d 7 (Fla.1974); Manker v. State, 429 So.2d 373 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983), the judgment is affirmed without prejudice to the filing of an appropriate motion under Fla.R. Crim.P. 3.850.
