Higgins v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 1, 2000 · Farmer, Klein, Polen
770 So. 2d 275; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 13917; 2000 WL 1629680 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Higgins v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We find that appellant’s allegations in his motion for post-conviction relief are sufficient to support his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failure to advise appellant of the defense of voluntary intoxication. We therefore reverse the trial court’s order denying that motion and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the merits of appellant’s claim.

POLEN, FARMER and KLEIN, JJ, concur.
