Garza v. State
Garza v. State
Opinion
Luis M. Garza appeals the trial court’s summary denial of his motion for postcon-viction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The trial court denied the motion, concluding that Garza’s claims were raised in an earlier motion for postconviction relief.
While the trial court is correct that Garza’s motion would be barred as successive if it raised the same claims as those raised in an earlier rule 3.850 motion, it did not attach any portion of the record to its order. Consequently, the record before this Court does not demonstrate that the motion is successive. Therefore, we remand this case to the trial court for attachment of those portions of the record conclusively refuting Garza’s claims.
REMANDED.
