David E. JONES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 5D15-1575.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    March 24, 2016.
    David E. Jones, Century, pro se.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Allison Leigh Morris, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach;-for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

David Jones appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Although the trial court’s order purports to rely upon portions of the record as the basis for denial, no parts of the record were attached to the order. This defect requires reversal. See, e.g., Waters v. State, 612 So.2d 685 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993). As such, we reverse and remand with directions that the trial court either attach portions of the record that refute Jones’ claims, or hold an evidentiary-hearing. Id.

REVERSED AND REMANDED WITH DIRECTIONS.

LAWSON, C.J., SAWAYA and COHEN, JJ., concur.
