McLeod v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal
McLeod v. State, 700 So. 2d 458 (1997)
1997 Fla. App. LEXIS 11892; 1997 WL 656329
Shahood, Stone, Warner
McLeod v. State
Opinion of the Court
We reverse an order denying Appellant’s motion for post-conviction relief and request to withdraw his plea, on allegations that the plea was coerced. Appellant’s claims are not refuted by the record. Therefore, we remand for an evidentiary hearing as to whether the plea was coerced and, therefore, involuntary.
We have considered and reject the state’s assertion that the motion is an improper successive motion. Although Appellant did file a separate motion requesting a correction of gain time, that was essentially a motion to correct a sentence. The allegations here are substantially different and distinct.
