Bryant v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Dec 29, 1999
748 So. 2d 357 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1999)

Opinion

No. 99-2958.

Opinion filed December 29, 1999.

Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, Palm Beach County; John L. Phillips, Judge; L.T. No. 97-10755CFA02.

Joseph H. Bryant, Miami, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Lara J. Edelstein, Assistant Attorney General, Fort Lauderdale, for appellee.


Joseph H. Bryant appeals the summary denial, without record attachments, of his motion for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. In his motion he raised three claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, each of which this court finds to be facially sufficient. In response to this court's order to show cause, the state concedes that the trial court should be required to attach to its order of denial those portions of the record which refute appellant's claims or to conduct an evidentiary hearing.

Accordingly, we reverse the order denying appellant's motion for post-conviction relief and remand for an evidentiary hearing or the attachment of portions of the record which conclusively refute appellant's claims.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

FARMER, STEVENSON and GROSS, JJ., concur.
