Reji Smith 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 REJI SMITH, Appellant, v. Case No. 5D15-3245 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. ________________________________/ Opinion filed July 8, 2016 3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Citrus County, Richard A. Howard, Judge. Reji Smith, Cross City, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp, and L. Charlene Matthews, Assistant Attorneys General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. Reji Smith appeals the summary denial of his motion for post-conviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm the trial court’s denial of claims (2), (3), (4), and (5). However, as the State properly concedes, the attachments to the trial court’s order do not conclusively refute Smith’s first claim. Accordingly, we reverse the trial court’s denial of claim (1) and remand for the trial court to either attach records conclusively refuting Smith’s claim, or in the alternative, hold an evidentiary hearing. AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; REMANDED. EVANDER, WALLIS and LAMBERT, JJ., concur. 2
