Lewis v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided March 4, 2011 · Sawaya, Cohen, Jacobus
55 So. 3d 725; 2011 Fla. App. LEXIS 2689; 2011 WL 743456 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Lewis v. State

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Marvin Lewis appeals from the summary denial of his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. Buried within Lewis’ fifteen-page motion is a claim that there were a number of errors on his sentencing score-sheet. His motion verges on unintelligible and references unrelated cases in other counties. Boiled down to its essence, Lewis argues that most of .his prior record offenses either did not exist or reflected the incorrect degree of felony. The trial court’s written order includes no attachments and makes no findings. Nonetheless, it is hard to be critical of the trial court given the vague and rambling nature of Lewis’ motion.

Therefore, we affirm the summary denial without prejudice for Lewis to file an amended rule 3.850 motion that clearly and succinctly asserts the specifics of his claim of scoresheet error.

AFFIRMED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.

SAWAYA, COHEN and JACOBUS, JJ., concur.
