1. “At the end of this claim, Smith cited to his judgment and sentence in case number 80-390. The trial court denied Smith's claim as facially insufficient to meet the standard enunciated in State v. Mancino, 714 So.2d 429 (Fla.1998), because Smith failed to allege that the court records demonstrate on their face that he is entitled to relief. This court finds that Smith's motion alleged a facially sufficient claim for relief because he referred the court to that portion of the trial court record that would support his claim—his judgment and sentence.”
