Lopez v. State , 917 So. 2d 256 ( 2005 )

917 So.2d 256 (2005)

Jorge A. LOPEZ, Appellant,
v.
The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D05-2051.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

December 14, 2005.

Jorge A. Lopez, in proper person.

Charles J. Crist, Jr., Attorney General, for appellee.

Before LEVY, SHEPHERD, and ROTHENBERG, JJ.

ROTHENBERG, Judge.

The defendant, Jorge A. Lopez, appeals an order summarily denying his motion to correct illegal sentence filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). We reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2)(D), if a trial court summarily denies a defendant's motion for postconviction relief filed under Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), 3.850, or 3.853, this court's standard of review is as follows: "On appeal from the denial of relief, unless the record shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief, the order shall be reversed and the cause remanded for an evidentiary hearing or other appropriate relief." Because the trial court has failed to attach portions of the record that conclusively demonstrate that the defendant is entitled to no relief, we reverse and remand for a hearing or for the trial court to attach record excerpts which conclusively demonstrate that the defendant is not entitled to any relief. Moreover, upon remand, the trial court may review and correct the order under review as it appears to be internally inconsistent. The form order provides that the trial court found that the defendant's pro se motion was "sufficient... to support the relief prayed," but the trial court then denied the motion without a hearing.

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.
