DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL OF FLORIDA
SECOND DISTRICT
JAMES R. MORROW, JR.
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
No. 2D21-3937
March 9, 2022
Appeal pursuant to Fla. R. App. P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit
Court for Polk County; Michael P. McDaniel, Judge.
James R. Morrow, Jr., pro se.
PER CURIAM.
James R. Morrow, Jr., filed a timely motion for jail credit
under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.801. The
postconviction court denied the motion based on its review of the
record, but it failed to attach those portions of the record upon
which it relied. Rule 3.801(e) incorporates rule 3.850, and rule
3.850(f)(5) provides that if the denial of the motion "is based on the
records in the case, a copy of that portion of the files and records
that conclusively shows that the defendant is entitled to no relief
shall be attached to the final order." Accordingly, we reverse and
remand for the postconviction court to attach those portions of the
record that conclusively refute Morrow's claim.
Reversed and remanded with instructions.
CASANUEVA, KELLY, and KHOUZAM, JJ., Concur.
