Louismeme v. State

Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 17, 2006 · Canady, Northcutt, Salcines

932 So. 2d 359; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 3723; 2006 WL 659506 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Opinion of the Court

SALCINES, Judge.

Louis Louismeme appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconvietion relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Because Louismeme’s postconvietion motion is not properly sworn, we affirm. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.850(c). Our affirmance is without prejudice to any right Louismeme may have to file a verified motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to rule 3.850. Any such motion will not be deemed successive. We remind the postconvietion court that if it should again deny relief to any subsequent verified postconvietion motion Louismeme files, the court must attach portions of the record conclusively refuting the defendant’s allegations.1

Affirmed.
