Mengore v. State
Mengore v. State
Opinion of the Court
Appellant Michael David Mengore appeals a trial court order denying his motion for post-conviction relief filed pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. His motion was properly verified, but the factual allegations in his memorandum of law contained a defective verification clause in which he said that the statements were “true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.” See Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 1985); Hahn v. Frederick, 66 So.2d 823 (Fla. 1953).
Accordingly, we affirm the trial court’s denial of post-conviction relief. This disposition is without prejudice to appellant’s right to timely resubmit the motion and memorandum with a proper oath.
