Redding v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 20, 2006 · Rothenberg, Suarez, Wells
944 So. 2d 523; 2006 Fla. App. LEXIS 21274; 2006 WL 3734382 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Redding v. State

Opinion of the Court

ROTHENBERG, Judge.

Andrew A. Redding (“defendant”) appeals the summary denial of his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). In his motion the defendant alleges that he was resentenced without being present and without representation of counsel. In denying the defendant’s motion as untimely, the trial court incorrectly treated the defendant’s motion as a motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We, therefore, reverse for proper consideration of the defendant’s motion and, if denied, the issuance of a new order with the appropriate attachments which conclusively refute the claimed entitlement to relief. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D)(requiring reversal by this court unless the record shows conclusively that the defendant is entitled to no relief).

Reversed and remanded.
