Adlington v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District
Jun 26, 1992
599 So. 2d 1047 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1992)

Opinion

No. 92-0861.

June 3, 1992. Rehearing Denied June 26, 1992.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Palm Beach County, James R. Stewart, J.

Phillip Adlington, pro se.

No appearance for appellee.


We affirm the trial court order denying appellant's motion to correct an illegal sentence. The motion was filed under both rule 3.800(a) and rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. However, we note that the motion was not properly filed under rule 3.850, as the oath provided only that the information was true to the best of the affiant's knowledge. See Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla. 1985). Therefore, in this appeal we have not considered those issues cognizable under a properly sworn 3.850 motion since the trial court could have denied relief on the improper jurat ground alone.

HERSEY, STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
