Murnahan v. State

Franklin MURNAHAN, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided December 7, 2005.

District Court of Appeal of Florida · decided 2005-12-07

Relies on 850 So. 2d 1265 - Ashley v. State · Fitzpatrick v. State · Rudder v. State

Decided 2005-12-07

¶1Appellant, pro se.

¶2Charlie Crist, Attorney General; Sherri Tolar Rollison, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

¶3*36 PER CURIAM.

¶4The appellant challenges the summary denial of his post conviction motion, in which he asserts that his written judgment and sentence contain a habitual felony offender designation, but that the trial court failed to orally pronounce the imposition of a habitual felony offender sentence.

¶5The appellant has made a facially sufficient claim for relief in a rule 3.800(a) motion. See Fitzpatrick v. State,863 So.2d 462 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). Further, where there is a discrepancy between the oral and written pronouncement of the sentence, the oral pronouncement controls. Ashley v. State,850 So.2d 1265 (Fla.2003); Frost v. State,769 So.2d 443 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000). In the instant motion, the trial court failed to attach record portions conclusively refuting the claim. The order denying the motion is therefore reversed, and the case is remanded so that the court may either attach the transcript or take such other action as may be appropriate.

¶6REVERSED AND REMANDED.

¶7ALLEN, BENTON, and VAN NORTWICK, JJ., concur.
