2012“The right of a plaintiff to have an action tried in another county than that in which the defendant has his residence is exceptional, and, if the plaintiff would claim such right, he must bring himself within the terms of the exception.” Brady v.

1958The defendant relies mainly on the following statement of law as laid down by the Supreme Court of Florida in the case of Enfinger v.

Meeks v. State green

1982Although we recognize that under both the terms of rule 3.850 and Meeks v. State, 382 So.2d 673 (Fla.1980), the evidentiary hearing can only be denied if it is conclusively shown that appellant’s motion lacks merit, we conclude that when the first three criteria of Knight for establishing ineffective counsel are placed alongside of appellant’s claims, those claims are shown conclusively to be without merit so as to obviate the need for an evidentiary hearing.

1977The failure of the trial judge to grant appellants' motion for a new trial under these circumstances runs squarely afoul of Mesarosh v. United States, 352 U.S. 1 , 77 S.Ct. 1 , 1 L.Ed.2d 1 (1956).
