Catches v. State (706 So. 2d 941, 1998)

PER CURIAM.

The postconviction motion filed, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850, did not contain the proper oath. See Gorham v. State, 494 So.2d 211 (Fla.1986); Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla.1985) (use of the qualifying words “to the best of [my] knowledge” renders oath improper under 3.850). Therefore, we affirm the trial court’s dismissal based on facial insufficiency. Our affir-mance is without prejudice to appellant filing with the trial court a timely postconvietion motion which complies with the requirements set forth in rule 3.850.

BARFIELD, C.J., and ALLEN and LAWRENCE, JJ., concur.
