Castro v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 23, 2009 · Damoorgian, Gross, Warner
23 So. 3d 1254; 2009 Fla. App. LEXIS 20027 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Castro v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Jorge Castro appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief, which alleged four grounds. Castro’s first point is not refuted by the record and should be considered at an evidentiary hearing. At issue is Castro’s claim that counsel failed to use, at trial, telephone records which he claims reflect that he was on a telephone call at the exact time he was allegedly pointing a rifle at the police. The other grounds alleged in the motion for postconviction relief were properly denied as legally inadequate or conclusively refuted by the record.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

GROSS, C.J, WARNER and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.
