To Obtain Public Records Florida - Rule 3852 i

In order to

obtain records under Rule 3.852(i), on the other hand, a

defendant need only show that collateral counsel has made a

timely and diligent search of the records repository, identify

with specificity those public records not at the repository, and

establish that the additional public records are either relevant

to the subject matter of the postconviction proceeding or are

reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible

evidence.

Rule 3.852(i) is a method by which capital

postconviction defendants may seek “public records in addition

to those provided under subdivisions (e), (f), (g), and (h) of

this rule.” Fl. R. Crim. P. 3.852(i)(1).
