DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOURTH DISTRICT July Term 2008 ELBERT D. HANEY, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee. No. 4D08-797 [July 30, 2008] PER CURIAM. Elbert D. Haney seeks review of an order denying his rule 3.850 motion for postconviction relief as successive. That determination was made based on this court s affirmance of Haney s previous motion to withdraw plea. In reviewing that case we note that any reference by this court to treatment of that appeal as involving a rule 3.850 motion was inadvertent. Haney had filed a motion to withdraw pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.170(l). The trial court denied the motion without reference to rule 3.850. A s a result, the rule 3.850 motion dated October 2005 is not a successive postconviction relief motion. Consequently, the case is remanded for further review of that motion.
