District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District

566 So. 2d 372 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1990)

Opinion

No. 89-2508.

September 12, 1990.

Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for Broward County; Arthur J. Franza, Judge.

Arthur P. Cohen, Fort Lauderdale, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee and Miles Ferris, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We hold that appellant's motion for post-conviction relief as originally filed adequately specifies the facts supporting the motion, as Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 requires. We reverse the trial court's order denying the amended motion, and remand for consideration of the motion on its merits.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

HERSEY, C.J., and STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
