Duane M. Blake v. State

PER CURIAM. We affirm the summary denial of grounds one through five and seven of appellant’s pro se. motion for post-conviction relief. See Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.850. However, as to ground six, we reverse and remand with directions to grant the appellant an evidentiary hearing. See Morales v. State, 731 So.2d 91 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999). In ground six, appellant alleged that trial counsel failed to call an available defense witness who would have testified that the victim of the shooting was pointing a firearm at appellant when he shot his firearm, thus potentially corroborating appellant’s *1203 asserted self-defense claim. See Morales, 731 So.2d at 92; see also Moran v. State, 750 So.2d 182, 134 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Balmori v. State, 985 So.2d 646, 650-651 (Fla. 2d DCA 2008); Spellers v. State, 993 So.2d 1117, 1119 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008). Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions. •GROSS, CONNER and KLINGENSMITH, JJ., concur.
