Manolo MARTINEZ, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    Case No. 5D17-2461
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    Opinion filed June 15, 2018
    Rupak R. Shah, of Escobar & Associates, P.A., Tampa, for Appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Lori N. Hagan, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Manolo Martinez appeals the summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. We affirm as to Grounds Two, Three, and Four. However, because the record does not conclusively refute Martinez's claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to file a motion to suppress the wiretap of his phone conversations, we reverse the summary denial of Ground One and remand for attachment of portions of the record conclusively refuting that claim or for an evidentiary hearing. See Freeman v. State, 761 So.2d 1055, 1061 (Fla. 2000) ("[A] defendant is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on a postconviction relief motion unless (1) the motion, files, and records in the case conclusively show that the prisoner is entitled to no relief, or (2) the motion or a particular claim is legally insufficient." (citing Maharaj v. State, 684 So.2d 726 (Fla. 1996) ) ).

AFFIRMED in part; REVERSED in part; and REMANDED.
