    No. 4D99-2495.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.

      Paul Amento, Arcadia, pro se.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Joseph A. Tringali, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellees.
   PER CURIAM.

We reverse the trial court’s order denying appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. We remand to the trial court for a hearing as to whether appellant retained counsel to timely file a 8.850 motion and whether counsel failed to timely file such a motion. See Medrano v. State, 748 So.2d 986 (Fla.1999); Steele v. Kehoe, 747 So.2d 931 (Fla.1999).

POLEN, SHAHOOD and GROSS, JJ., concur.
