3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court
for Lake County,
William G. Law, Jr, Judge.
Tania Williams, of The Williams Firm, P.A.,
West Palm Beach, for Appellant.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General,
Tallahassee, and Carmen F. Corrente,

Beach, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.
Marvin Williams (“Appellant”) appeals the summary denial of his Florida Rule of
Criminal Procedure 3.850 Motion for Postconviction Relief. Appellant raises three issues
upon appeal, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel for failure to: 1) file a motion in
limine to exclude improper comments on Appellant’s right to remain silent; 2) exclude
identification of the firearm; and 3) suppress the firearm that Appellant alleges was
unlawfully seized.
As to the last two issues, we affirm without further discussion. As to the first issue,
we reverse and remand for the trial court to hold an evidentiary hearing or to make more
appropriate record attachments refuting the claim.
AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; REMANDED.
COHEN, C.J., and SAWAYA and EVANDER, JJ., concur.
