WILLIAM ZANK AND THE HARTFORD ACCIDENT AND INDEMNITY COMPANY, APPELLEES
375 So. 2d 10
Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1979)

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.
This is an appeal from an order granting a new trial to the defendants on both damages and liability. The trial judge failed to set forth in the order the specific grounds for granting a new trial. He merely stated that he was “astounded” and that the jury could not have arrived at the $30,000.00 verdict on liability and damages without prejudice, sympathy or misunderstanding of the evidence entering into the award.
Accordingly, pursuant to Fla.R.Civ.P. 1.530(f), jurisdiction is hereby relinquished to the trial court for thirty days for the entry of an order specifying the grounds for granting a new trial.
CROSS, LETTS and MOORE, JJ., concur.

Mallory v. State, 577 So. 2d 987 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991)…dicated that even though a defendant cannot be released from prison due to another concurrent sentence, the court should nonetheless consider the merits of a collateral attack. See Frizzell v. State, 238 So. 2d 67 (Fla.1970). See also Wood v. State, 375 So. 2d 10 (Fla. 1st DCA 1979). Thus, the trial court erred in denying Mallory’s 3.850 motion on the basis that the motion was premature. Second, Mallory claims he received ineffective assistance of counsel by virtue of his attorney’s failure to investigate…
