Lucas v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 3, 2014 · Berger, Cohen, Orfinger
148 So. 3d 150; 2014 Fla. App. LEXIS 15375; 2014 WL 4929058 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Lucas v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Travis Lucas appeals the trial court’s order summarily denying his rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief as improperly successive. After considering the unique procedural history of this case, we conclude that good cause existed to allow the successive filing. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(h)(2). Accordingly, we reverse the order of the trial court and remand for consideration on the merits.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

ORFINGER, COHEN and BERGER, JJ., concur.
