PER CURIAM.
Tanya Singleton appeals the summary denial of her motion to allow credit for jail time. Although the trial judge denied the motion without an evidentiary hearing, he did not attach to his order any portion of the files or record to refute appellant’s allegation.
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, she has thirty days in which to appeal.
Reversed and remanded.
RYDER, A.C.J., and CAMPBELL and LEHAN, JJ., concur.

Lindsay v. State, 579 So. 2d 350 (Fla. 1st DCA 1991)…(Fla.1973). Until the supreme court changes the law, a prisoner who hands the notice of appeal to prison authorities for mailing the day before it is due cannot blame prison authorities for the notice reaching the court late. See Clifford v. State, 513 So. 2d 772, 774 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987). Prisoners must take into account their inability to hand deliver the notice of appeal and prepare and mail the notice sufficiently in advance of the due date to reach the proper tribunal in a timely manner. Finally, we note…
