20 So. 3d 986 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2009)

Opinion

No. 3D09-1943.

October 21, 2009.

An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Stacy Glick, Judge.

Salvador Mendoza, in proper person.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, and Jill D. Kramer, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

Before WELLS, LAGOA, and SALTER, JJ.

Prior report: 941 So.2d 523.


This is an appeal of an order summarily denying a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. On appeal from a summary denial, this Court must reverse unless the postconviction record, see Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2)(A), shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief. See Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2)(D).

Because the record now before us fails to make the required showing, we reverse the order and remand for an evidentiary hearing or other appropriate relief. If the trial court again enters an order summarily denying the postconviction motion, the court shall attach record excerpts conclusively showing that the appellant is not entitled to any relief.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
