Opinion filed January 30, 2002.
Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Sheldon M. Schapiro, Judge; L.T. Case No. 97-11377 CF10A.
Lee Norville, Wewahitchka, pro se.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Claudine M. LaFrance, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
Lee Norville appeals the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief, filed pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure, in which he raised six grounds of ineffective assistance of counsel. We reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing with respect to Norville's claim that defense counsel was ineffective for failing to call a material witness at trial. Anderson v. State, 796 So.2d 1205 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001). Norville alleged that Ms. Richardson was available to testify and her testimony would have supported his position that the confidential informant fabricated the information provided to the detectives.
