Summary of this case from O'Connell v. StateOpinion
No. 2D01-3963
Opinion filed November 14, 2001.
Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Polk County; J. Michael McCarthy, Judge.
Odis Cloud appeals the order of the trial court denying as untimely his motion for return of property filed pursuant to section 705.105, Florida Statutes (2000). We reverse and remand for reconsideration of the motion. The trial court did not attach any portions of the record to its order, and we cannot determine whether Cloud's property was seized pursuant to section 705.105. On remand, the trial court must attach those portions of the record indicating that the property was seized and held as evidence by law enforcement or that the property was seized pursuant to a lawful investigation and was in the custody of the clerk of the court; otherwise, the trial court shall conduct an evidentiary hearing. See Hughes v. State, 768 So.2d 512 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000).
Reversed and remanded.
