Appeal of order denying rule 3.850 motion from the Circuit Court for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County; Stanton S. Kaplan, Judge; L.T. Case No. 96-11411 CF10A.

Albert L. Hall, Miami, pro se.

Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Mitchell A. Egber, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


We affirm the trial court's order summarily denying appellant Albert L. Hall's amended motion for postconviction relief. As to his second ground for relief, based on "newly discovered evidence" in the form of an unsworn affidavit or letter of a purported eyewitness, we affirm without prejudice. Appellant may file a second amended rule 3.850 motion within thirty days of the date of issuance of this court's mandate, with a sworn affidavit or letter from the eyewitness Kenya Shaw which does not contain any disclaimer that the information in it is true and correct to the best of his information or belief.

WARNER, TAYLOR and CIKLIN, JJ., concur.
