An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Gadsden County, William L. Gary, Judge.
Charles C. Jenkins, pro se, Polk City.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
Because appellant's motion, filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), is legally sufficient, we reverse and remand the order denying the motion with directions that the trial court address the merits of appellant's claim. See Stoutamire v. State, 24 Fla. L. Weekly D1180, 734 So.2d 468 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).
REVERSED and REMANDED.
