PER CURIAM.

In Dorsey v. State, 664 So.2d 50 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995), we reversed the summary denial ‍‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍of appellant’s motion for post-conviction relief with direction that the trial court either hold an evidentiary hearing or attach those parts of the record that show that appellant ‍‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍is not entitled to relief. On remand, an evidentiary hearing was held and the court again denied the motion. The appellant appeals that ruling.

The denial of relief ‍‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍was recorded in a document that was signed by a deputy clerk. No written order signed by the judge was ever rendered. The clerk’s record of the ‍‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍oral ruling is not an appealable order. State v. Tremblay, 642 So.2d 64 (Fla. 4th DCA 1994).

The appeal is hereby dismissed. The trial court is directed to render a signed, written ‍‌​​​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‍order from which the appellant can take an appeal.

DELL, WARNER and PARIENTE, JJ., concur.
