Russell v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of second-degree battery and the offense of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant later timely filed a verified pro se petition for postconviction relief challenging the judgment. The trial court denied the petition, concluding that it lacked jurisdiction to consider it. However, the court gave no reason for dismissing the petition. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded the matter so that the trial court may enter an order setting out the basis for the dismissal of the petition.
