Beard's motion was summarily denied by the trial court. This court affirms the denial of all claims except Beard's claim that the two conspiracy convictions violate double jeopardy. The attached record does not refute this claim, and it is necessary to reverse and remand the matter for the trial court to attach those portions of the record that refute the

claim or to vacate the conviction of the lesser conspiracy offense.

In Beard's appeal of his postconviction motion, he takes issue with the convictions and sentences for the two conspiracy counts. Beard was sentenced to five years at the Department of Corrections on one of the counts and to three years on the second count, both to run consecutively.

In denying Beard's 3.850 motion, the trial court did a Blockburger
