987 So. 2d 234 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2008)

Opinion

No. 4D08-797.

July 30, 2008.

Appeal from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Paul L. Backman, Judge; L.T. Case Nos. 03-6560 CF10A, 03-7203 CF1OA, 03-8440 CF10A, 03-8442 CF10A, 03-9706 CF10A, 03-13110 CF10A 03-17408 CF10A.

Elbert D. Haney, Florida City, pro se.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Heidi L. Bettendorf, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


Elbert D. Haney seeks review of an order denying his rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief as successive. That determination was made based on this court's affirmance of Haney's previous motion to withdraw plea. In reviewing that case we note that any reference by this court to treatment of that appeal as involving a rule 3.850 motion was inadvertent.

Haney had filed a motion to withdraw pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.170( l) The trial court denied the motion without reference to rule 3.850.

As a result, the rule 3.850 motion dated October 2005 is not a successive postconviction relief motion. Consequently, the case is remanded for further review of that motion.

WARNER, POLEN and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.
