Opinion filed September 5, 2017.

An appeal from the Circuit Court for Duval County.
Russell L. Healey, Judge.

Lavelle Antonio Copeland, pro se, Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and Kathryn Lane, Assistant Attorney
General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.



PER CURIAM.

      Appellant challenges the summary denial of his postconviction motion filed

pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850.

      We find claims 2, 4, 7, and 8 were facially insufficient because where a

defendant such as appellant entered a guilty plea, “in order to satisfy the

‘prejudice’ requirement [of Strickland], the defendant must show that there is a
reasonable probability that, but for counsel’s errors, he would not have pleaded

guilty and would have insisted on going to trial.” State v. Dickey, 

,

1197 (Fla. 2006). Ground 2 was also facially insufficient because it alleged trial

counsel was ineffective for failing to file a “motion to suppress” in order to argue a

lack of sufficient evidence. The postconviction court correctly found the claim was

facially insufficient because a motion to suppress would not have been the correct

vehicle to challenge the sufficiency of the evidence. Ground 8 was also facially

insufficient because appellant failed to sufficiently allege facts demonstrating

prejudice. See Nelson v. State, 

, 712 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008).

      However, because these deficiencies could be cured by a good faith

amendment, appellant was entitled to amend this claim pursuant to Spera v. State,

, 759 (Fla. 2007). Thus, we reverse the denial of ground 2, 4, 7, and

8, and we remand for the trial court to grant appellant leave to amend those

grounds within a reasonable period of time. See Griggs v. State, 

,

995 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008).

      We affirm the denial of grounds 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11 because these

grounds were facially insufficient and cannot be amended pursuant to Spera.

      AFFIRMED in part, REVERSED in part, and REMANDED with

instructions.
