Ferrell v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Sep 4, 2002
825 So. 2d 498 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2002)

Opinion

Case No. 2D02-3080

Opinion filed September 4, 2002.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Jack Espinosa, Jr., Judge.


Neil Lenwood Ferrell appeals from an order dismissing his motion and amended motion for postconviction relief brought pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The trial court correctly found that Ferrell's motions were not properly sworn. See State v. Shearer, 628 So.2d 1102 (Fla. 1993). Accordingly, we affirm the trial court's order but do so without prejudice to Ferrell's refiling of the motion with the proper oath.

DAVIS and COVINGTON, JJ., Concur.
