1Per curiam
Renaldo Devon McGirth appeals an order of the circuit court denying his amended motion to vacate judgment of conviction and sentence of death filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.851. He further petitions this Court for a writ of habeas corpus. We have jurisdiction. See art. V, § 3(b)(1), (9), Fla. Const. For the reasons that follow, we affirm the denial of postconviction relief. However, we grant the habeas petition and order that McGirth receive a new penalty phase proceeding based on Hurst v. State (Hurst), 202 So.3d 40 (Fla. 2016).
