No. 3D00-2366.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Oct. 4, 2000.
Avissmael Diaz, in proper person.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J. and FLETCHER and SHEVIN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Avissmael Diaz seeks review of an order denying his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, seeking postconviction relief. We reverse and remand.
The circuit court summarily denied the motion as "legally insufficient" without reaching the merits. Our examination of the petition for posteonvietion relief shows no legal insufficiency. The motion was timely filed, contains appropriate issues for review, supporting facts, memorandum of law, and an unnotarized oath at the conclusion which substantially complies with Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.987. See also § 92.525(2), Fla. Stat. (1999); Zipperer v. Singletary, 693 So.2d 122 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). We therefore reverse the order summarily denying relief and re mand for consideration of the postconviction petition on the merits.
Reversed and remanded.
