Henley v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Apr 15, 1981
396 So. 2d 1191 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1981)

Opinion

No. 81-25.

April 15, 1981.

Rule 3.850 appeal from Circuit Court, Broward County; M. Daniel Futch, Jr., Judge.

Pearl Coleman Henley, pro se, appellant.

No appearance on behalf of appellee.


Defendant appeals the denial, without an evidentiary hearing, of a motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to Rule 3.850, Fla.R.Crim.P. The trial court was partially correct in that all of the alleged grounds, save ground "C", were legally insufficient. Paragraph "C", however, alleges ineffective assistance of counsel on appeal. Since copies "of that portion of the files and records which conclusively [show] that the prisoner is entitled to no relief" were not attached to the court's order of denial, the cause is reversed and remanded with instructions to conduct an evidentiary hearing on the allegation of ineffective assistance of counsel. See Jones v. State, 384 So.2d 736 (Fla. 4th DCA 1980).

MOORE, HERSEY and HURLEY, JJ., concur.
