GERALD L. SMITH, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2007-05-30
No. 4D07-1312
STEVENSON, C.J., WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
956 So. 2d 1266 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2007) Positive Treatment
Cited by 5 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The order denying appellant’s motion for postconviction relief is summarily reversed. When a trial court denies a rule 3.850 motion without an evidentiary hearing, it must “either state its rationale in its decision or attach those specific parts of the record that refute each claim presented in the motion.” Anderson v. State, 627 So. 2d 1170, 1171 (Fla.1993) (citing Hoffman v. State, 571 So. 2d 449, 450 (Fla.1990)). The trial court’s order in this case does neither. Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

STEVENSON, C.J., WARNER and TAYLOR, JJ., concur.
