William J. PARRIMON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 99-01028
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.
    July 7, 1999.
   PER CURIAM.

William Parrimon appeals the denial of his motion for leave to file a belated motion for postconviction relief. Because we find that Parrimon’s claim is not procedurally barred and that it states a preliminary basis for relief, we reverse and remand. See Ward v. Dugger, 508 So.2d 778 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987) (finding that a prisoner might be entitled to file a belated motion for postconviction relief if the actions of her attorney in failing to provide necessary records frustrated her intention to file such a motion in a timely manner); Steele v. Kehoe, — So.2d -, 1999 WL 343071, 24 Fla. L. Weekly S237 (Fla. May 27, 1999). On remand the trial court shall treat Parrimon’s motion as a petition for writ of habeas corpus and proceed according to Ward and Steele.

Reversed and remanded.

ALTENBERND, A.C.J., and WHATLEY and SALCINES, JJ., Concur.
