In Steel v. State, 684 So.2d 290 (Fla. 4th DCA 1996), this court reversed the order summarily denying Steven Steel’s motion for post-conviction relief and ordered an eviden-tiary hearing to determine whether trial counsel’s error had resulted in prejudice. At that hearing, Steel failed to prove that the plea offer he rejected would have resulted in a more favorable sentence than the one imposed after trial. We therefore affirm the denial of relief on that allegation.
We also directed the trial court to hold a hearing to determine whether counsel’s error had affected the outcome of the trial. Because Steel filed a written notice in this court abandoning and waiving that claim, there is no need for the trial court to conduct any further proceedings on his motion.
AFFIRMED.
