Rene VALDES, Appellant,v.The STATE of Florida, Appellee.


An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami–Dade County, Dava J. Tunis, Judge.Rene Valdes, in proper person.Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, for appellee.Before RAMIREZ, SUAREZ, and SALTER, JJ.

SUAREZ, J.

This is an appeal of an order summarily denying a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. On appeal from a summary denial, this Court must reverse unless the post-conviction record, shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(A), (D).

Valdes claims that he was not advised by the trial court of the deportation consequences

of his plea. The trial court's order denying relief failed to address this claim. Because the record now before us fails to make the required showing, we reverse the order and remand for an evidentiary hearing or other appropriate relief. If the trial court again enters an order summarily denying the post-conviction motion, the court shall attach record excerpts conclusively showing that the appellant is not entitled to any relief.

The plea colloquy, for example.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
