Daniel L. McGOWAN, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 77-1980.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    Feb. 6, 1979.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender, and Kurt Marmar, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Jim Smith, Atty. Gen., Joel D. Rosen-blatt, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Clifford M. Miller, Legal Intern, for appellee.
    Before PEARSON, KEHOE and SCHWARTZ, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

This appeal is taken by the defendant pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.140(g), which provides for an appeal from an order denying relief under Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure 3.850 without a hearing. We find that the defendant’s motion for post-conviction relief sets forth facts which, if established, would show that he was mentally and physically incapable of making a defense at the time of his trial; also, the record does not conclusively refute that claim. Therefore, the order appealed is reversed and the cause is remanded for an evidentiary hearing.

It is so ordered.
