LOUIS v. STATE (2018)

Wilfred LOUIS a/k/a Valness Jean–Chattles, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 4D17–2612

Decided: March 07, 2018

Wilfred Louis a/k/a Valness Jean–Chattles, Mayo, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Melanie Dale Surber, Senior Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Wilfred Louis appeals the summary denial of a rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief. We agree with appellant that the trial court erred in denying his claim of newly discovered evidence without an evidentiary hearing. See Nordelo v. State, 93 So.3d 178 (Fla. 2012); Barrow v. State, 940 So.2d 1235 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

Per Curiam.

May, Damoorgian and Ciklin, JJ., concur.
