1. “We appreciate the trial court’s efforts to expeditiously resolve this matter at the appellate level. However, the procedure used is incorrect. Once this court has reversed the order on appeal and remanded the case to the trial court, the trial court is required to reconsider the case and enter a new order either granting or denying the request for relief. If the order denies relief on the basis that the files and records conclusively show that Appellant is entitled to no relief, then those portions of the files and records relied on by the court in making this ruling should be identified in and attached to the order, as required by rule 3.850.”
