Allen v. State

Allen v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided August 25, 1999 · Hazouri, Shahood, Warner
741 So. 2d 581; 1999 Fla. App. LEXIS 11529; 1999 WL 641873 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Allen v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Lorenzo Allen appeals the order that denied his second rule 3.850 motion as impermissibly successive. Because his first motion was both filed and denied while his conviction was on appeal, his second motion is not procedurally barred. Daniels v. State, 712 So.2d 765 (Fla. 1998). We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings. Because the oath on Allen’s motion is somewhat irregular, on remand the trial court can require Alen to amend his motion to include either an oath that is properly signed and notarized or a signed, unnotarized oath. See, Fla. R.Crim.Pro. 3.987 (1999).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

WARNER, C.J., SHAHOOD and HAZOURI, JJ., concur.
