   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the summary denial of appellant’s rule 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief and remand for an evidentiary hearing on: (1) whether trial counsel was ineffective for failing to interview key witnesses; (2) advising defendant to plead guilty because he had no viable defense.
