Justin Pilkington v. State of Florida
186 So. 3d 1114; 2016 Fla. App. LEXIS 3632; 2016 WL 892655
(Southern Reporter, Third Series)
Justin Pilkington v. State of Florida
Opinion
We reverse the trial court’s order denying appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence and remand for further proceedings. The court denied the motion without explanation, without ordering a response from the State, and without attaching any records. It is well settled that such an order is improper and subject to summary reversal. Shea v. State, 97 So.3d 861 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012).
Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
