Catches v. State
Catches v. State
706 So. 2d 941; 1998 Fla. App. LEXIS 2231; 1998 WL 85505
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Catches v. State
Opinion of the Court
The postconviction motion filed, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, did not contain the proper oath. See Gorham v. State, 494 So.2d 211 (Fla. 1986); Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 1985) (use of the qualifying words “to the best of [my] knowledge” renders oath improper under 3.850). Therefore, we affirm the trial court’s dismissal based on facial insufficiency. Our affir-mance is without prejudice to appellant filing with the trial court a timely postconvietion motion which complies with the requirements set forth in rule 3.850.
