Ungarelli v. State

Ungarelli v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided April 28, 2000 · Altenbernd, Salcines, Whatley
758 So. 2d 723; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 4996; 2000 WL 491984 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Ungarelli v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court’s order denying the motion for relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 because the motion is unsworn. The order, however, dismisses the proceeding with leave to file another proper motion. By the time the order was issued, the time to file a proper motion had expired. Accordingly, we hold that Joseph M. Ungarelli may file a motion pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 within thirty days from the issuance of mandate in this case, which motion shall not be denied on the ground that it is untimely.

Affirmed with instructions.

ALTENBERND, A.C.J., and WHATLEY and SALCINES, JJ., Concur.
