Singleton v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Oct 9, 1987
513 So. 2d 772 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1987)

Opinion

No. 87-2191.

October 9, 1987.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(g) from the Circuit Court for Lee County; R. Wallace Pack, Judge.


Tanya Singleton appeals the summary denial of her motion to allow credit for jail time. Although the trial judge denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing, he did not attach to his order any portion of the files or record to refute appellant's allegation.

Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's denial of appellant's motion and remand the case to the trial court. On remand, unless the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, the court shall order the state attorney to file an answer within a time certain. After receipt of the answer, the court shall determine whether an evidentiary hearing is required. If the court should again deny appellant's motion, she has thirty days in which to appeal.

Reversed and remanded.

RYDER, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and LEHAN, JJ., concur.
