Litz v. State
Litz v. State
Opinion of the Court
William Litz appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Litz raised four grounds of ineffective assistance of trial counsel in his motion. However, he claims only ground three constitutes error in his pro se brief. Therefore, he has abandoned the other grounds alleged in his motion. See Ward v. State,
In ground three, Litz alleged that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to file a motion to suppress the warrantless tracking of a cell phone that was used in the crimes. The trial court denied this ground, concluding that Litz lacked standing to challenge the cell phone tracking because the cell phone did not belong to him.
The records attached to the order denying Litz's motion do not conclusively demonstrate that Litz lacked standing. See, e.g., United States v. Stringer,
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.
ORFINGER, BERGER and EISNAUGLE, JJ., concur.
