DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT January Term 2008 ROBERT S. NEWMAN, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 4D08-520 [May 21, 2008] PER CURIAM. Appellant Robert Newman appeals the trial court s order summarily denying his motion for post conviction relief on five grounds. We affirm the trial court s summary denial of ground three of the motion on its merit as appellant s allegations were adequately refuted by the transcript attached to his motion showing the warning given pursuant to Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966). However, we reverse the trial court s summary denial of appellant s other claims, 1, 2, 4 and 5, and remand to the trial court to permit appellant to file a facially sufficient motion within the time parameters of rule 3.850, pursuant to Spera v. State, 971 So. 2d 754 (Fla. 2007). Affirmed in part, Reversed in part, and Remanded.
