DON EVAN CIOETA, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2016-11-18
No. 5D16-562
LAWSON, C.J., SAWAYA and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
204 So. 3d 156 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2016) Positive Treatment
Cited by 2 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Don Cioeta, seeks review of the order summarily denying his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm as to all claims except claims two and seven. In claim two, Cioeta contends that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to file a motion to suppress Cioeta’s statements to the police. In claim seven, Cioeta argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to impeach a witness with prior inconsistent statements. Because these two claims are not refuted by the record, it was error for the trial court to summarily deny them. Therefore, we reverse that part of the order under review denying these two claims and remand for an evidentiary hearing or attachment of portions of the record that conclusively refute the claims.

*157AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED.

LAWSON, C.J., SAWAYA and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
