KITCHEN v. STATE (2019)

Ted M. Kitchen appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Although Kitchen alleged several reasons for why his plea was involuntary, he only appeals the summary denial of his claim that trial counsel affirmatively misadvised him as to gain time. Because the attached records do not conclusively refute Kitchen's facially sufficient claim that he entered his plea because trial counsel affirmatively misadvised him regarding his eligibility for gain time, we reverse the summary denial and remand for attachment of portions of the record conclusively refuting his 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))).

REVERSED and REMANDED.

PER CURIAM.
