200 So. 3d 158

John Hayward v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2016-06-24

Relies on 761 So. 2d 1055 - Freeman v. State · 684 So. 2d 726 - Maharaj v. State

Decided 2016-06-24

PER CURIAM.

¶1 John Hayward appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm as to Grounds One, Two, Three, Five, and the supplemental claim. However, because the record does not conclusively refute Hayward’s claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the admission of collateral *159 crimes evidence, we reverse the summary denial of Ground Four and remand' for attachment of portions of the record conclusively refuting that claim or for an evi-dentiary hearing. See Freeman v. State, 761 So.2d 1055, 1061 (Fla.2000) (“[A] defendant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on a-postconviction relief motion unless (1) the motion, files, and records in the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, or (2) the motion or a particular claim is legally insufficient.” (citing Maharaj v. State, 684 So.2d 726 (Fla.1996))).

¶2 AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
