David E. Jones v. State

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FIFTH DISTRICT NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED DAVID E. JONES, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D15-1575 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed March 24, 2016 3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Hernando County, Stephen E. Toner, Jr., Judge. David E. Jones, Century, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison Leigh Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. David Jones appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Although the trial court’s order purports to rely upon portions of the record as the basis for denial, no parts of the record were attached to the order. This defect requires reversal. See, e.g., Waters v. State, 612 So. 2d 685 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). As such, we reverse and remand with directions that the trial court either attach portions of the record that refute Jones’ claims, or hold an evidentiary hearing. Id. REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS. LAWSON, C.J., SAWAYA and COHEN, JJ., concur. 2
