White v. State

The defendant appeals from the circuit court’s order denying his Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. The defendant argues the court erred in denying his motion without making any findings of fact or conclusions of law supporting the court’s determination of the issues, as required by rule 3.850(f)(8)(A), which provides, in pertinent part:

If an evidentiary hearing is required, the court ... shall determine the issues, and make findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect thereto.
