v. Case No. 5D15-4138
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
________________________________/
Opinion filed June 3, 2016
3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Putnam County,
Patti A. Christensen, Judge.
Henry Lamar Davis, Jr., Daytona
Beach, pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-
Tripp, Assistant Attorney General,
Daytona Beach, for Appellant.
PER CURIAM.
Henry Lamar Davis, Jr., appeals the summary denial of his Rule 3.850 motion for
postconviction relief. Davis filed an initial Rule 3.850 motion in June of 2014. That motion
was denied on November 18, 2014, and Davis did not appeal the denial. Six months later,
Davis filed another Rule 3.850 motion, which was also denied. 1
1 Davis’s initial brief is really no more than yet another Rule 3.850 motion alleging
the same forty-one grounds for relief. Twenty-four of these claims untimely challenged
the trial court's 2009 and 2011 judgments.
The trial court denied the motion in part as impermissibly successive, correctly
noting that Davis neither labeled the motion as successive nor justified the failure to raise
the asserted grounds in his prior motion. The trial court failed, however, to attach a copy
of the prior motions and orders in support of its ruling as required by Florida Rule of
Criminal Procedure 3.850(h)(2). The State concedes this was error. We reverse and
remand for attachment of the prior Rule 3.850 motion and the resulting order as it relates
to Davis’s allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel in his violation-of-probation
cases. We affirm as to the claims related to the original proceedings and alleging trial
court error.
AFFIRMED IN PART; REVERSED IN PART; AND REMANDED.
SAWAYA, COHEN and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
