Xavier Arsenio JOHNSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Robert Wesley, Public Defender and Robert Thompson Adams, IV, Assistant Public Defender, Orlando, for Appellant. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.


Robert Wesley, Public Defender and Robert Thompson Adams, IV, Assistant Public Defender, Orlando, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Marjorie Vincent-Tripp, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the summary denial of Appellant's Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief. Appellant filed a facially sufficient motion asserting that he was incompetent to proceed when he entered a plea in 2012. The post-conviction court summarily denied the motion based upon court minutes from separate cases from 2016, determining that Appellant's competency had been restored. These records do not conclusively refute Appellant's contention that he was incompetent in 2012.

Accordingly, we remand with instructions that the lower court either grant the relief, afford to Appellant an evidentiary hearing on his claim, or attach different records that conclusively refute the claim.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ORFINGER, TORPY and LAMBERT, JJ., concur.
