162 So. 2d 521

Mills v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 1964-04-03

Relies on Sampson v. State · 159 So. 2d 921 - Caminita v. State · 156 So. 2d 36 - Weeks v. State

Decided 1964-04-03

PER CURIAM.

¶1The order here appealed, summarily denying motion for relief under Criminal Procedure Rule No. 1, F.S.A. ch. 924 Appendix, is predicated on findings of fact as to matters outside the record and must be reversed. Caminita v. State, Fla. *522App.1964, 159 So.2d 921. The contention, made on appeal, that the absence of an express allegation that the right to counsel was not waived is preclusive of relief cannot, in view of the clear implication of non-waiver in the allegations made, be sustained. Sampson v. State, Fla.App.1963, 158 So.2d 771.

¶2Upon remand of the cause the lower court should proceed to a prompt disposition of the motion, including any amendments heretofore made or hereinafter timely filed, and should, if appropriate to accomplish a fair and thorough presentation of appellant’s claim, afford appellant the services of appointed counsel in such further proceedings as are necessary. State v. Weeks, Fla.1964, - So.2d-, reversing Fla.App., 156 So.2d 36.

¶3Reversed and remanded.

ALLEN, Acting C. J., and SHANNON and WHITE, JJ., concur.
