RANDALL LACEY, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 2017-07-05
No. 4D17-0666
Taylor, Damoorgian and Conner, JJ., concur.
221 So. 3d 689 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (2017) Positive Treatment
Cited by 6 cases
Opinion of the Court
Per Curiam.

Per Curiam.

Appellant Randall Lacey appeals the summary denial of his rule 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief. The State concedes that the trial court erred in failing to allow Lacey an opportunity to amend the motion. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850(f)(2); Spera v. State, 971 So.2d 754 (Fla. 2007). We therefore reverse and remand for the trial court to afford Lacey an opportunity to file a facially sufficient motion.

Reversed and remanded.

Taylor, Damoorgian and Conner, JJ., concur.
