Opinion filed November 4, 2022

3.850 Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Bob LeBlanc, Judge.

Matthew R. McLain, of McLain Law, P.A., Longwood, for Appellant.

Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Robin A. Compton, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Alexander A. Hernandez appeals the postconviction court’s summary

denial of his eleven-ground motion for relief under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm the postconviction court’s summary denial of

grounds two, four, five, six, and seven without further comment. We also

affirm that portion of ground one relating to trial counsel’s failure to cross

examine the victim on her inconsistent statements about who gave her drugs

because Hernandez cannot establish prejudice.

We find, however, that the record does not conclusively refute the

remaining portion of ground one as well as grounds three and eight. We

remand those issues for an evidentiary hearing or for the postconviction court

to attach portions of the record conclusively refuting those claims.

AFFIRMED in Part; REVERSED in Part; and REMANDED.

SASSO, TRAVER and NARDELLA, JJ., concur.
