PER CURIAM.
Shannon Stevens appeals the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Although the trial judge denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing, he did not attach to his order any portion of the files or records to refute appellant’s allegations.
Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion and remand the case to the trial court. On remand, unless the files and records of the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, the court shall order the state attorney to file an answer within a time certain. After receipt of the answer, the court shall determine whether an evidentiary hearing is required. If the court should again deny appellant’s motion, he has thirty days in which to appeal.
Reversed and remanded.

R.C. Stewart v. State, 511 So. 2d 375 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987)…in arriving at a defendant’s guidelines sentence has been the subject of a direct appeal in Crigler v. State, 487 So. 2d 420 (Fla. 2d DCA 1986), and has been collaterally attacked by a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in Pettway v. State, 502 So. 2d 1353 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). Accordingly, this Court requested the State to file a brief addressing, inter alia, the question whether the scoring of uncounseled misdemeanor convictions may be raised for the first time by a motion for post-conviction relief.…

Rowe v. State, 523 So. 2d 620 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988)…delines context. See, e.g., Lucas v. State, 461 So. 2d 260 (Fla. 1st DCA 1984). The failure to object to known scoresheet miscalculations might qualify as ineffective assistance if the defendant is prejudiced by counsel’s omission. Pettway v. State, 502 So. 2d 1353 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). However, as with any other claim of ineffective assistance, the movant must at least allege that the outcome—in this instance the sentence—would have been different but for the blunders of counsel.

Manuel v. State, 629 So. 2d 1052 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993)…r, allegedly failed to challenge any of these convictions. We held in Lanier v. State, 478 So. 2d 1184 (Fla. 2d DCA 1985), that the failure to object to known guideline scoresheet errors could constitute ineffective assistance. In Pettway v. State, 502 So. 2d 1353 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987), we specifically dealt with an alleged failure to object to uncounseled prior convictions. Cf. Register v. State, 619 So. 2d 498 (Fla. 2d DCA 1993) (failure to object to uncounseled prior DUI convictions used to enhance present of…
