HIGGINS v. STATE

No. 4D00-2462.

770 So.2d 275 (2000)

James HIGGINS, Appellant, v. STATE Of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

November 1, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Higgins, Arcadia, pro se.

Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Don M. Rogers, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

We find that appellant's allegations in his motion for post-conviction relief are sufficient to support his claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failure to advise appellant of the defense of voluntary intoxication. We therefore reverse the trial court's order denying that motion and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the merits of appellant's claim.
