LEWIS v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Olin M. LEWIS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 1D19-2933

Decided: March 02, 2020

Olin M. Lewis, pro se, Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

Because Lewis' postconviction motion was timely filed, he should have been given an opportunity to amend the motion as to his claim alleging a scoresheet error. Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850(f)(3); Spera v. State, 971 So. 2d 754, 758-59 (Fla. 2007). Thus, we reverse and remand as to that claim. We affirm the order denying postconviction relief on all other claims.

Affirmed in part, Reversed in part and Remanded.

Per Curiam.

Roberts, Rowe, and Bilbrey, JJ., concur.
