Marc L. Lubet, Judge.
Arthur L. Williams, Defuniak Springs,
pro se.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Rebecca Roark Wall,
Assistant Attorney General, Daytona
Beach, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Arthur Williams appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief
filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm except as to Ground
One. We reverse the summary denial of Ground One and remand for attachment of
portions of the record conclusively refuting that claim or for an evidentiary hearing. See
Freeman v. State, 761 So. 2d 1055, 1061 (Fla. 2000) (“[A] defendant is entitled to an
evidentiary hearing on a postconviction relief motion unless (1) the motion, files, and
records in the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, or (2) the
motion or a particular claim is legally insufficient.” (citing Maharaj v. State, 684 So. 2d 726
(Fla. 1996))).
AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED.
SAWAYA, ORFINGER and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
