Johnson v. State

Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida Opinion filed January 20, 2016. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D15-2324 Lower Tribunal No. 07-40245 ________________ Robert Johnson, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat, Judge. Robert Johnson, in proper person. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Sandra Lipman, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee. Before SHEPHERD, LAGOA, and SCALES, JJ. PER CURIAM. This is an appeal of an order summarily denying a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). On appeal from a summary denial, this Court must reverse unless the postconviction record, see Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(A), shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D). Because the record now before us fails to make the required showing, we reverse the order and remand for further proceedings. If the trial court again enters an order summarily denying the postconviction motion, the court shall attach record excerpts conclusively showing that the appellant is not entitled to any relief. Reversed and remanded for further proceedings. 2
