PER CURIAM.

Allen Todd Bennett appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

If his allegation is true, he may be entitled to relief. Tarpley v. State, 566 So.2d 914 (Fla.2d DCA 1990); Ray v. State, 480 So.2d 228 (Fla.2d DCA 1985).
