Robert J. PRESLEY, Petitioner, v. FLORIDA PAROLE COMMISSION and Florida Department of Corrections, Respondents.
No. 1D04-4695.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Robert J. Presley petitions for certiorari review of an order of the circuit court denying his petition for writ of habeas corpus, in which he challenged the revocation of his parole. Although the circuit court found that there was sufficient evidence to justify the revocation of parole, most notably Presley's admission to violating a condition of his supervision, it failed to address his contention that his admission was involuntary. In this regard, we conclude that Presley's allegation that his admission was induced by the hearing examiner's representation that he would be restored to supervision if he admitted the alleged violation (which is in fact what the hearing examiner recommended), stated a prima facie basis for relief. Accordingly, the circuit court's order denying Presley's petition for writ of habeas corpus is QUASHED and the matter is REMANDED with directions to conduct such further proceedings as are necessary to address and adjudicate this issue.
WEBSTER and DAVIS, JJ., concur; THOMAS, J., concurring with opinion.
