1. “The State’s trial court response cited the transcript pages containing the motion for judgment of acquittal, but the State did not attach it to the trial court response. For present purposes, we must accept the defendant’s characterization that counsel failed to address with specificity the claimed deficiency in proof of the “armed” portion of the armed burglary charge.... The Florida Supreme Court has said that a boilerplate motion for judgment of acquittal is legally insufficient. Woods v. State, 733 So.2d 980, 984-85 (Fla.1999) (“Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.380 requires that a motion for judgment of acquittal ‘fully set forth the grounds on which it is based.’ ”). It follows that the defendant has made “a facially sufficient claim for postconviction relief,” Boykin v. State, 725 So.2d 1203, 1203 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999), and we must remand for further proceedings.”
