Head Matter:
Daniel David BROOKS, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
No. 3D99-2281.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
April 19, 2000.
Daniel David Brooks, in proper person.
Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, and Christine E. Zahralban, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.
Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and JORGENSON and GREEN, JJ.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Defendant appeals from the denial of his motion for postconviction relief. We reverse and remand with directions for the trial court to conduct an evidentiary hearing to determine whether defendant's trial counsel failed to investigate or call to testify witnesses whom defendant had identified as alibi witnesses, and whether that failure constituted ineffective assistance of counsel. See McPhee v. State, 728 So.2d 332 (Fla. 3d DCA 1999).
Reversed and remanded with directions.
