SIDNEY JONES, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 1996-05-13
No. 95-1435
WOLF, LAWRENCE and BENTON, JJ., concur.
673 So. 2d 152 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (1996) Caution
Cited by 43 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Jones challenges a denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. We find merit in one of appellant’s issues; the allegation concerning ineffective assistance of counsel as a result of counsel’s failure to file a timely notice of appeal.

Appellant’s motion alleges that he requested defense counsel to file a timely notice of appeal after sentencing, and he failed to do so. The trial court erred in summarily denying appellant’s motion as to this issue. We, therefore, reverse and remand for the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing on appellant’s motion, to attach portions of the record demonstrating that appellant is not entitled to relief, or to enter an order granting appellant a belated appeal.

WOLF, LAWRENCE and BENTON, JJ., concur.

As the power to place in detention those charged with or found to have committed a delinquent act is entirely statutory, see S.W. v. Woolsey, 673 So. 2d 152, 154 (Fla. 1st DCA 1996), compliance with the statute is required. See A.S., 777 So. 2d at 1172. Section 985.213(2)(a) is clear in its requirement that all determinations and court orders regarding detention be based on a risk assessment of the chil…
