PER CURIAM.

We affirm the trial court order denying appellant’s motion to ‍‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‍correct an illegal sentence. The motion was filed under both rule 3.800(a) and rule 3.850, Florida Rules of Criminal Procedure. ‍‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‍However, we note that the motion was not properly filed under rule 3.850, as the oath provided only that the ‍‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‍information was true to the best of the affiant’s knowledge. See Scott v. State, 464 So.2d 1171 (Fla.1985). Therefore, in this appeal we ‍‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‍have not considered those issues cognizable under a properly sworn 3.850 motion since the trial court could have denied relief ‍‌​​​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‍on the improper jurat ground alone.

HERSEY, STONE and POLEN, JJ., concur.
