Deveaux v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided September 16, 2009

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2009-09-16

Decided 2009-09-16

PER CURIAM.

¶1Freddie Deveaux appeals the trial court’s order summarily denying his motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). On appeal from a summary denial, this Court must reverse unless the post-conviction record shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D).

¶2Deveaux has raised a facially sufficient claim for rule 3.800(a) relief that the trial court, by summarily denying the motion, has failed to conclusively refute. Because the record now before us fails to make the required showing, we reverse the order and remand for further proceedings. On remand, if the trial court again enters an order denying the post-conviction motion, the trial court shall attach written portions of the record conclusively refuting the defendant’s claim. See Fla. R.App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D) (requiring reversal by this Court unless the record shows conclusively that the defendant is entitled to no relief).

¶3Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.
