¶3PER CURIAM.

¶4We construe the motion filed by appellant in the trial court as one seeking relief pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. However, the motion was not properly verified under oath. Gorham v. State,494 So.2d 211 (Fla.1986); Scott v. State,464 So.2d 1171 (Fla.1985); Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.987. Accordingly, the motion was legally insufficient. Therefore, the order denying the motion is affirmed.
