Cruz v. State

Cruz v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided December 1, 2010 · Polen, Hazouri, Levine
47 So. 3d 976; 2010 Fla. App. LEXIS 18469; 2010 WL 4861760 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Cruz v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

The order denying appellant’s rule 3.850 motion is summarily reversed. See, e.g., Terry v. State, 970 So.2d 863 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007); Dieudonne v. State, 958 So.2d 516 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007); Smith v. State, 956 So.2d 1266 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007). The trial court denied the motion based solely upon the state’s response to a rule 3.800(a) motion to correct an illegal sentence. The response to a completely different motion and the records attached to that response do not address or refute the claims raised in appellant’s rule 3.850 motion. This case is remanded for the trial court to follow the procedures set forth in rule 3.850(d) and Spera v. State, 971 So.2d 754 (Fla. 2007).

Reversed and remanded.

POLEN, HAZOURI and LEVINE, JJ., concur.
