TERRY v. STATE (2024)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Vincent TERRY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D2022-1462

Decided: June 28, 2024

Vincent Terry, Crawfordville, pro se. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Douglas T. Squire, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

We affirm the trial court's order in all respects except for its summary denial of Appellant's claim that his counsel was ineffective when he opened the door to firearms evidence that was the subject of an order in limine, which claim he brings to this Court as Issue Three, and which claim the trial court addressed as Ground One. We vacate and remand the trial court's summary denial of that claim for attachment of a copy of that portion of the files and records in the case that conclusively shows Appellant is not entitled to relief as to the claim, see Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(f)(4), or, if there are no such files and records, for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.

Affirmed in Part; Vacated in Part; Remanded with Instructions

Per Curiam.

Eisnaugle, Boatwright, and Pratt, JJ., concur.
