485 So. 2d 469 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1986)

Opinion

No. 84-793.

March 18, 1986. Rehearing Denied April 14, 1986.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, for Dade County; Ralph N. Person, Judge.

Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Elliot H. Scherker, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.

Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., and Richard E. Doran, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and HUBBART and DANIEL S. PEARSON, JJ.


The order denying the defendant's motion for post-conviction relief is reversed upon a holding that the evidence before the trial court indisputably failed to establish that the defendant's entry of a guilty plea to the charges against him was knowingly and voluntarily made with an understanding of the consequences. See Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969); Williams v. State, 316 So.2d 267 (Fla. 1975).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
