CHARLES ROOSA v. State of Florida

Opinion

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL FIRST DISTRICT, STATE OF FLORIDA

CHARLES ROOSA, NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE MOTION FOR REHEARING AND Appellant, DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED

v. CASE NO. 1D16-0127 STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee.

_____________________________/ Opinion filed June 13, 2016.

An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Duval County. Mark Hulsey, III, Judge.

Charles Roosa, pro se, Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kathryn Lane, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Charles Roosa appeals an order denying his rule 3.800(a) motion, which challenged his consecutive sentences for two counts of resisting an officer with violence. As the State concedes, the trial court should have treated the motion as

2

having been filed pursuant to rule 3.850. Based on this concession, and having found that Appellant presented a facially sufficient rule 3.850 claim that his two separate convictions violate double jeopardy, see Jones v. State, 711 So. 2d 633 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998), we reverse and remand for the trial court to treat the motion as having been timely filed pursuant to rule 3.850, and to attach records conclusively refuting it, hold an evidentiary hearing, or vacate one of the convictions for resisting an officer with violence. See Spencer v. State, 805 So. 2d 1089 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002).

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

ROWE, OSTERHAUS, and WINSOR, JJ., CONCUR.
