Heading: The Denial Order

Text: Under this claim, Doorbal contends that the form of the order denying relief fails to provide this Court with guidance for appellate review because it does not reference hearings, transcripts, or any portion of the record. We disagree. We have held that to support a summary denial, the trial court must either state its rationale in the order or attach those portions of the record that refute the claims. See Nixon v. State, 932 So.2d 1009, 1018 (Fla.2006). Although the denial order in this case is extremely brief to summarily deny a large number of claims, it provides a specific basis why the trial court denied each claim without an evidentiary hearing. Further, with regard to the mental health claim, the order states that Doorbal withdrew his request for an evidentiary hearing on this claim and determines that Doorbal had failed to carry his burden to demonstrate entitlement to relief. Doorbal fails to present a single case in which this Court has granted relief under similar circumstances. Cf. Hoffman v. State, 571 So.2d 449, 450 (Fla.1990) (ordering evidentiary hearing on 3.850 motion where the trial court in its summary order stated no rationale for its rejection of the motion, failed to attach to the order portions of the record conclusively showing that relief was not required, and failed to find that the allegations were inadequate or procedurally barred). Therefore, we deny Doorbal relief on this claim. [12]
