841 So. 2d 556

Guy v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2003-03-10

Relies on 737 So. 2d 509 - Gaskin v. State

Decided 2003-03-10

PER CURIAM.

¶1The appellant challenges the order by which the trial court summarily denied his Florida Rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. We conclude that the motion sets forth one colorable claim. In his first claim for relief, the appellant alleges a colorable claim that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate or call various exculpatory witnesses. See Gaskin v. State, 737 So.2d 509 (Fla.1999). Accordingly, the trial court’s summary denial of this claim is reversed and this case is remanded for further proceedings under the rule. We affirm the trial court’s denial of the remaining claims.

¶2AFFIRMED IN PART, REVERSED IN PART, AND REMANDED.

ALLEN, C.J., BENTON and HAWKES, JJ., concur.
