1Opinion of the Court

WALLACE, Judge.

Lucas Goodwin appeals the order that summarily denied his motion for postcon-vietion relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We reverse the post-conviction court’s order as to the denial of claims two and seven of Mr. Goodwin’s motion. We affirm without comment the postconviction court’s denial of all other claims for relief.

On March 16, 2005, Mr. Goodwin was found guilty of burglary of a dwelling and grand theft. He was sentenced as a habitual felony offender to concurrent terms of twenty years in prison for the burglary and ten years for the grand theft.
