White v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District

600 So. 2d 1236 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 92-01445.

June 10, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Hillsborough County, M. William Graybill, J.


Reginald S. White appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Although the trial judge denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing, he did not attach to his order any portion of the files or records to refute appellant's allegations.

Accordingly, we reverse the trial court's denial of appellant's motion and remand the case to the trial court. On remand, unless the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, the court shall order the state attorney to file an answer within a time certain. After receipt of the answer, the court shall determine whether an evidentiary hearing is required. If the court should again deny appellant's motion, he has thirty days in which to appeal.

Reversed and remanded.

SCHOONOVER, C.J., and DANAHY and PARKER, JJ., concur.
