Carr v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 2, 2017 · Berger, Sawaya, Wallis
224 So. 3d 776; 2017 WL 2389975; 2017 Fla. App. LEXIS 7978 (Southern Reporter, Third Series)

Carr v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Thomas L. Carr appeals the trial court’s order summarily denying his rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief as improperly successive. After considering the unusual facts and 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 *777court and remand for consideration on the merits.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

SAWAYA, BERGER, and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
