Justin PILKINGTON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Justin Pilkington, Arcadia, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Senior Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Justin Pilkington, Arcadia, pro se.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Senior Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court's order denying appellant's rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence and remand for further proceedings. The court denied the motion without explanation, without ordering a response from the State, and without attaching any records. It is well settled that such an order is improper and subject to summary reversal. Shea v. State, 97 So.3d 861 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

CIKLIN, C.J., WARNER and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.
