Head Matter:
STATE of Florida, Appellant, v. Luis HUBY, Appellee.
No. 4D10-3817.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
March 30, 2011.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Heidi L. Bettendorf, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
Jonathan S. Friedman of Jonathan S. Friedman, P.A., Fort Lauderdale, for ap-pellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The state appeals an order granting ap-pellee Luis Ruby's amended motion for post-conviction relief filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Without holding an evidentiary hearing on the amended motion, or giving notice and an opportunity to the State to respond to it, the trial court granted the motion, vacating Ruby's open pleas and sentences for violation of probation. As we said in State v. Schiano, 696 So.2d 531 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), rule 3.850(d) does not authorize the trial court to summarily grant a motion for post conviction relief. We reverse and remand for further proceedings on this amended motion, to which the State should be permitted to respond, and for the trial court to allow an evidentiary hearing on the claims raised by appellee.
Reversed and Remanded.
GROSS, C.J., HAZOURI and MAY, JJ., concur.
