Proposed amendments to the criminal procedure rules

Proposed amendments to the criminal procedure rules

The majority of the proposals are in response to a request by the Court for the Committee, with input from the Criminal Court Steering Committee, to review the issue of successive rule 3.800(a) motions and the postconviction procedure forms in light of the Court’s decision in In re: Amendments to the Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure, 132 So. 3d 734 (Fla. 2013). The Court invites all interested persons to comment on the proposed amendments, which are reproduced in full below, as well as online at www.floridasupremecourt.org/decisions/proposed.shtml. All comments must be filed with the Court on or before October 15, 2014, with a certificate of service verifying that a copy has been served on the Committee Chair, Judge Samantha L. Ward, George Edgecomb Courthouse, 800 E. Twiggs Street, Suite 421, Tampa, FL 33602-3549, [email protected], and on the Bar Staff Liaison to the Committee, Heather S. Telfer, 651 E. Jefferson Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2300, [email protected], as well as a separate request for oral argument if the person filing the comment wishes to participate in oral argument, which may be scheduled in this case. The Committee Chair has until November 6, 2014, to file a response to any comments filed with the Court. If filed by an attorney in good standing with The Florida Bar, the comment must be electronically filed via the Portal in accordance with In re Electronic Filing in the Supreme Court of Florida via the Florida Courts E-Filing Portal, Fla.

IN RE AMENDMENTS TO FLORIDA RULES OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE, CASE NO. SC14-1530

RULE 3.800. CORRECTION, REDUCTION, AND MODIFICATION OF SENTENCES

(a) Correction.

(1) Generally. A court may at any time correct an illegal sentence imposed by it, or an incorrect calculation made by it in a sentencing scoresheet, when it is affirmatively alleged that the court records demonstrate on their face an entitlement to that relief, provided that a party may not file a motion to correct an illegal sentence under this subdivision during the time allowed for the filing of a motion under subdivision (b)(1) or during the pendency of a direct appeal.

(2) Successive Motions. A court may dismiss a second or successive motion if the court finds that the motion fails to allege new or different grounds for relief and the prior determination was on the merits. When a motion is dismissed under this subdivision, a copy of that portion of the files and records necessary to support the court’s ruling must accompany the order dismissing the motion.

(3) Sexual Predator Designation. A defendant may seek correction of an allegedly erroneous sexual predator designation under this subdivision, but only when it is apparent from the face of the record that the defendant did not meet the criteria for designation as a sexual predator.

(4) Appeals. All orders denying or dismissing motions under this subdivision (a) shallmust include a statement that the movant has the right to appeal within 30 days of rendition of the order.

(b) – (c) [No Change]

No motion, including any memorandum of law, shall exceed 50 pages without leave of the court upon a showing of good cause. Any false statement of a material fact may serve as the basis for prosecution and conviction for perjury. All questions must be answered concisely in the proper space on the form.

(2) Additional pages are not permitted except with respect to the facts that you rely upon to support your grounds for relief. No citation of authorities need be furnished. If briefs or arguments are submitted in support of your legal claims (as opposed to your factual claims), they should be submitted in the form of a separate memorandum of law. This memorandum should have the same caption as this motion.

(3) No filing fee is required when submitting a motion for postconviction relief.

(4) Only the judgment of one case may be challenged in a single motion for postconviction relief.

(5) Your attention is directed to the fact that you must include all grounds for relief, and all facts that support such grounds, in the motion you file seeking relief from any judgment of conviction.
