Smith v. State

District Court of Appeal of Florida

Decided January 9, 2004No. 5D03-3947PublishedCited by 1 opinion

1Opinion of the CourtPleus, J.

Henry Lincoln Smith has appealed the denial of his rule 3.850 motion without prejudice. The trial court found that defendant’s motion was facially insufficient. The motion states that it was sworn and subscribed by an Orange County Corrections officer pursuant to section 117.10, Florida Statutes, which authorizes correctional officers to administer oaths. In this case there is no statement that the facts in the motion are true and correct. Therefore, the trial court’s order must be affirmed. See, e.g., Katwaroo v. State, 837 So.2d 612 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003).
