James J. QUIGLEY, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D99-0653.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    March 22, 2000.
    James J. Quigley, Punta Gorda, pro se.

   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court’s order dismissing appellant’s petition for writ of ha-beas corpus. We remand to the trial court for a hearing as to whether appellant retained counsel to timely file a 3.850 motion and whether counsel failed to timely file such a motion. See Medrano v. State, 748 So.2d 986 (Fla. 1999); Steele v. Kehoe, 747 So.2d 931 (Fla.1999).

GROSS, TAYLOR and HAZOURI, JJ„ concur.
