HERRADA CORDOVA v. STATE (2020)

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

Ernesto HERRADA-CORDOVA, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.

No. 3D20-1184

Decided: November 25, 2020

Before EMAS, C.J., and GORDO and BOKOR, JJ.

Ernesto Herrada-Cordova, in proper person. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, for appellee.

Ernesto Herrada-Cordova, the defendant below, appeals the trial court's denial of his motion for postconviction relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The order entered by the trial court denying such relief examines the legal standard and factual predicate, citing to the trial transcript, affidavits, and other court records, including the appellant's confession presented to the jury. However, the summary record before us on appeal contains none of the documents so referenced in the order. Accordingly, we are constrained to reverse the order of denial and remand for an evidentiary hearing or for the attachment of record excerpts conclusively showing that the appellant is not entitled to any relief. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D).

Reversed and remanded for further proceedings consistent herewith.

PER CURIAM.
