Hardy v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided February 13, 1996 · Booth, Ervin, Webster
667 So. 2d 956; 1996 Fla. App. LEXIS 1013; 1996 WL 60511 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Hardy v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

This cause is before us on appeal from the trial court’s summary denial of Appellant’s rule 3.850 motion.. We affirm without comment as to grounds 1, 3 and 4. However, as to ground 2 (involving allegations that Appellant’s counsel was ineffective for not relaying certain plea offers from the prosecutor), we reverse and remand for either an evidentiary hearing or record attachments showing conclusively that Appellant is entitled to no relief. See Wilson v. State, 647 So.2d 185, 186 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). On remand, we further direct the trial court to address grounds 5 through 8 of Appellant’s 3.850 motion, as it failed to do so in the order on appeal.

AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

ERVIN and WEBSTER, JJ., concur. BOOTH, J., concurs in part and dissents in part.

Concurring in Part

BOOTH, Judge,

Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part.

Although we must reverse as to ground 2, Wilson v. State, 647 So.2d 185 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), we should not require that the trial court rule on grounds 5 through 8, grounds not asserted in the 3.850 motion itself.
