Wallace v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District
Sep 11, 1996
679 So. 2d 841 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996)

Opinion

No. 96-01666.

September 11, 1996.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.140(g) from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Chet A. Tharpe, Judge.


Brian Wallace appeals from the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We find no merit to Wallace's first four points and therefore affirm as to those issues. However, we cannot determine from the record whether there is any merit to Wallace's allegation that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate potential alibi witnesses. Since Wallace's allegations are sufficient to require an evidentiary hearing on this issue, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.

Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded.

PATTERSON, A C.J., and ALTENBERND and LAZZARA, JJ., concur.
