Head Matter:
Bernard LARKINS, Appellant, v. R.L. DUGGER, Appellee.
No. BC-488.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
Aug. 9, 1985.
Bernard Larkins, in pro. per.
Jim Smith, Atty. Gen. and Carl J. Zahner, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Bernard Larkins appeals the summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus. Because Larkins' petition states a preliminary basis for relief which was not refuted by the State, we reverse and remand with directions to issue a rule to show cause why the petition should not be granted. See: Parker v. Cook, et al., 642 F.2d 865 (5th Cir.1981); Granger v. Florida State Prison, 424 So.2d 937 (Fla. 1st DCA 1983); Costello v. Strickland, 418 So.2d 443 (Fla. 1st DCA 1982).
Reversed and remanded with directions.
ERVIN, SHIVERS and JOANOS, JJ., concur.
