Third District Court of Appeal State of Florida, July Term, A.D. 2008 Opinion filed November 12, 2008. Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing. ________________ No. 3D08-2695 Lower Tribunal No. 96-5184 ________________ William Shaun Jordan, Appellant, vs. The State of Florida, Appellee. An Appeal under Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade County, Alan Schwartz, Judge. William Shaun Jordan, in proper person. Bill McCollum, Attorney General, for appellee. Before SUAREZ, CORTIƃ AS, and ROTHENBERG, JJ. PER CURIAM. This is an appeal of an order summarily denying a motion under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). On appeal from a summary denial, this Court must reverse unless the post-conviction record, see Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(A), shows conclusively that the appellant is entitled to no relief. See Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2)(D). Because the record now before us fails to make the required showing, we reverse the order and remand for further proceedings. If the trial court again enters an order summarily denying the post-conviction motion, the court shall attach record excerpts conclusively showing that the appellant is not entitled to any relief. Reversed and remanded for further proceedings. 2
