PARIENTE,-J;,

dissenting. -

In Flynn v. State, 217 So.3d 1055, 1056 (Fla. 4th DCA 2017), the Fourth District Court of Appeal certified conflict with the Second District Court of Appeal’s decision in Merkle v. State, 88 So.3d 375 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2012), on the issue- of what constitutes the crime of concealment of a' child in violation of a court order pursuant to section 787.04(1), Florida Statutes (2014), Unquestionably, the certification of conflict provides this Court with discretionary jurisdiction under article V,- section 3(b)(4), of the Florida Constitution.

In Flynn, the Fourth District interpreted the Second District’s holding in Merkle to conclude that a “person cannot commit the violation of concealment óf a child in violation of a court order unless there is a court order in place expressly telling the defendant that he or she is required to disclose the location of the child to the court.” Flynn, 217 So.3d at 1056 (citing Merkle, 88 So.3d at 377).

The language in the time sharing order the trial court relied on to find the defendant guilty of a felony in Flynn, indicated that Flynn was required to keep the children’s mother apprised of their location. This language is, as noted by the Fourth District, in “[m]ost time sharing orders.” Id. While there may be differences in the procedural postures of Flynn and Merkle, these differences have no effect on the resolution of the ultimate conflict issue which this Court should address—whether, to be convicted under the statute for concealment of the location of a child, there must be a court order requiring one parent to keep both the court and the other parent apprised of the child’s location, or whether a court order, such as that in Flynn, requiring only that the parent keep the other parent of the child, but not the court, apprised of the child’s location is sufficient. Because the cases expressly and directly conflict on this issue of importance, this Court should exercise its discretion and accept .jurisdiction to resolve any confusion regarding the crime of concealment of a child to ensure uniform application of the law on this specific issue, which could potentially affect all custody and time sharing orders in this State.

Accordingly, I dissent.

LABARGA, C.J., and QUINCE, J., concur.

    FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION and Jim Boxold, in his official capacity as Secretary of the Florida Department of Transportation, Appellants, v. TROPICAL TRAILER LEASING, LLC, et al., Appellees.
    CASE NO. 1D16-4586
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed November 6, 2017.
    Clinton L. Doud, Chief Counsel, Civil Litigation; Ryan Scott Bourgoin, Assistant (General Counsel, Civil Litigation; George S.Reynolds, IV, and Marc A. Peoples, Assistant General Counsels, Florida Department of Transportation, Tallahassee, for Appellants.
    Diane G. DeWolf of Akerman LLP, Tallahassee; A. Rodgers Traynor, Jr.' and Lawrence D. Silverman of Akerman LLP, Miami,, for Appellees.
   B.L. THOMAS, C.J.

The Florida Department of Transportation appeals the trial court’s non-final order certifying two sub-classes in favor of Appellee, Tropical Trailer Leasing, LLC. The Department argues that the trial court abused its discretion on three grounds: deciding the merits of Tropical Trailer’s claim; certifying broader subclasses than requested by Tropical Trailer; and finding that Tropical Trailer proved the elements of rule 1.220, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure. We disagree with the Department’s assertion that the trial court decided the merits of Tropical Trailer’s underlying claim, but we reverse the order and remand, because the trial court abused its discretion by expanding the class beyond that pled in Tropical Trailer’s amended complaint. As we reverse on this issue, we do not reach the issue of whether Tropical Trailer proved the elements of rule 1.220, Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.

Facts

Tropical Trailer leases trailers to third parties. It filed suit to invalidaté the Department’s method of assessing tolls for towed trailers. Tolls were previously assessed against the vehicle pulling the trailer. Following the advent of cashless billing, SunPass transponders were installed on vehicles, and the Department began assessing tolls without requiring vehicle drivers to stop; but not all semi-trucks had SunPass transponders installed. The Department later implemented the toll-by-plate billing system,' using either ' front-plate cameras or rear-plate cameras to capture photographs of license plates to assess tolls.

In Florida, license plates on semi-trucks are attached to its front bumper, and license plátes on cars, trucks, and trailers are attached to the vehicle’s rear bumper. At some tolling locations, the Department has only installed rear-plate cameras, which assess a toll against the trailer owner, while at other tolling locations, the Department has installed both front and rear-plate cameras. In cases where a semi-truck’s front-license plate is hidden, or when a vehicle is towing a trailer and the vehicle’s rear license plate is obscured, the toll is assessed against the trailer owner, rather than the vehicle owner, as the trailer’s rear license plate remains visible.'

Tropical Trailer sued the Department for erroneously interpreting sections 316.003(21) and 316.1001, Florida Statutes (2010), to authorize the Department to assess tolls against the trailer owner, instead of the owner of the vehicle towing the trailer. Tropical Trailer asserted that its trailérs were not “motor vehicles” within the meaning Of section 316.003(21), and that the Depártment should have charged the vehicle owner the toll pursuant'to section 316.1001, because the vehicle owner was the “person” who “used” the toll road. Tropical Trailer argued that while it may know who was driving the vehicle and thus could obtain reimbursement, many times leasing contracts preclude identifying the driver. Furthermore, Tropical Trailer asserted that it was spending its resouiees to collect tolls for the Department. Tropical Trailer also asserted that there were approximately forty other trailer-leasing companies subject to the same unauthorized billing procedures.

In its initial complaint, Tropical Trailer alleged it was suing on behalf of the following class:

All owners of a trailer or semitrailer or chassis who within the four years preceding the filing of this lawsuit were charged a highway toll by [the Department] because the driver of the motorized vehicle towing the trailer or semitrailer or chassis failed to immediately pay the applicable toll.

The Department moved to strike the class on the following grounds:

This definition includes any person who within the preceding four years owned a trailer and used the Department’s Toll-By-Plate payment system. The proposed class is not limited to persons similar to Tropical Trailer who lease trailers to customers that incur tolls through Toll-By-Plate. Instead, it seeks to include anyone who owned a trailer and incurred a toll through Toll-By-Plate within the preceding four years. As' proposed, the class definition would include trailer owners who themselves used the toll road but did not ‘immediately pay the applicable toll’ because they chose to pay through Toll-By-Plate. The inclusion of every trailer owner who received a Toll-By-Plate charge in the preceding four years is absurd and grossly over-broad.

(Emphasis in original.)

After the Department filed its motion to strike the class, Tropical Trailer amended its complaint, and alleged it was suing on behalf of a narrower class, consisting of approximately 40 trailer-leasing companies:

All owners of a trailer or semitrailer or chassis who within the four years preceding the filing of this lawsuit were charged a highway toll by [the Department] because the driver of the motorized vehicle towing the trailer or semitrailer or chassis failed to immediately pay the applicable toll. Excluded from this definition would be owners of a trailer or semitrailer or chassis who also own the motorized vehicle which is towing their own trailer or semitrailer or chassis equipment at the time the toll is incurred.

(Emphasis added.) The Department again moved to dismiss the amended complaint and moved to strike the new class definition. Responding to the Department’s motion to .dismiss, Tropical Trailer maintained that its action was on behalf, of “a class which, includes the entire trailer leasing industry,” and assured the trial court that “[plaintiffs, certainly do not contend that they have no liability for any portion of the tolls which are payable to [the Department] by whomsoever chooses to ‘use’ [the Department’s] toll roads.”

During discovery, Tropical Trailer learned that the Department had assessed over-180,000 tolls against trailer owners using the toll-by-plate system; roughly half of these were assessed against commercial trailer owners, while the other half were assessed against personal trailer owners. After learning such information, Tropical Trailer filed a motion to certify four classes, proposing the following classes:'

Class A—DAMAGES AND INJUNC-TIVE RELIEF: All trailer owners whose trailer license tag was used by [the Department] between 10/14/10 and 6/30/12[] to charge a toll in any amount.
Class B—DAMAGES AND INJUNC-TIVE RELIEF: All trailer owners whose trailer license tag was used by [the Department] between . 10/14/10 and 6/30/12 to charge a toll which is greater than the toll chargeable for two axle vehicles.
Class C—DAMAGES AND INJUNC-TIVE RELIEF: All trailer owners whose trailer license tag was used by [the Department] after 10/14/10 to charge a toll which is greater than the toll chargeable for three axle vehicles.
Class D—DAMAGES AND INJUNC-TIVE RELIEF: All' trailer owners whose license tag was used by [the Department] after 10/14/10 to charge a toll in'any amount. Excluded from Class D would be all trailer owners who also own the' motorized vehicle pulling the trailer at the time the toll is incurred.

Before filing its motion for class certification] and in response to the. Department’s 'motion to strike its' initial class as “absurd and grossly overbroad,” Tropical Trailer specifically limited its. class definition to exclude trailer owners that also owned the vehicle pulling the trailer. In its amended motion for class certification, however, Tropical Trailer proposed Classes A, B, and C, which again included all trailer owners before the 2012 amendment, while its proposed Class D (starting after the 2012 amendment) still excluded those trailer owners “who also own the motorized vehicle pulling the trailer at the time the toll is incurred.” The proposed class definitions in its amended motion for class certification were based on Tropical Trailer’s “contention that any toll violation notice issued based upon the license plate of a trailer is improper, and indeed void ab initio.” ■

In its order granting Tropical Trailer’s motion, the trial court certified two subclasses, even broader than requested: “[T]he owners of all trailers towed on the turnpike for which [the Department] used the toll-by-plate method of toll 'imposition between October 6, 2010 and June 30, 2012,” and “the owners of all trailers towed on the turnpike for which [the Department] used the toll-by-plate method of toll imposition since July 1,2012.”

Analysis-

The trial court’s non-final order certifying a class is reviewed for abuse of discretion, “because ‘the determination that a case meets the requirements of a class action is a factual finding,’ which falls within the trial court’s' discretion.” Sosa v. Safeway Premium Fin. Co., 73 So.3d 91, 103 (Fla. 2011); Sacred Heart Health Sys., Inc. v. Humana Military Healthcare Servs., Inc., 601 F.3d 1159, 1169 (11th Cir. 2010) (“‘A .., court abuses its discretion if it ... follows improper procedures in making the determination ....’” (quoting Klay v. Humana, Inc., 382 F.3d 1241, 1251 (11th Cir. 2004)); Canal Ins. Co. v. Gibraltar Budget Plan, Inc., 41 So.3d 375, 377 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) (holding that a trial court acts within its discretion when it narrows a class); Stone v. CompuServe Interactive Servs., Inc., 804 So.2d 383, 387 (Fla. 4th DCA 2001) (noting that trial courts have broad discretion in shaping the members of a class).

Rule 1.220(c)(2)(D)(ii), Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, provides that “[a]ny' pleading ... shall contain ... a definition of the allegéd class .... ” Rule 1.220(d)(1) provides that “after hearing the court shall enter an order determining whether the claim ... is maintainable on behalf of a class on the application of any party or on the court’s initiative.” In Florida, the movant bears the'burden of proving the elements of rule 1.220, and the trial court must conduct a rigorous analysis before determining whether to certify a class. Fla. Health Sciences Ctr., Inc. v. Elsenheimer, 952 So.2d 575, 581 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007).

Rule 1.220 was modeled after Rule 23, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and decisions interpreting Rule 23, while not binding, are persuasive authority in Florida courts. Rollins, Inc. v. Butland, 951 So.2d 860, 879 (Fla. 2d DCA 2006). And federal district courts have held that trial courts abuse their discretion when they certify a class that is broader than the class defined in. the complaint. See Johnson v. Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Group, LLC, 285 F.R.D. 573, 577 n.2 (E.D. Ca. 2012) (declining to use expanded class definition proposed in motion for class certification, and resorting to class definition in complaint); Clarke v. Baptist Mem’l Healthcare Corp., 264 F.R.D. 375, 381 (W.D. Tenn. 2009) (requiring plaintiffs to file an amended complaint to expand the proposed class definition); Fisher v. Ciba Specialty Chem. Corp., 238 F.R.D. 273, 300 (S.D. Ala. 2006) (“Having selected and litigated the class definition of their choice, plaintiffs must live with that choice.”); Heastie v. Cmty. Bank of Greater Peoria, 125 F.R.D. 669, 672 n.10 (N.D. Ill. 1989) (certifying class as originally proposed in the plaintiffs complaint, and noting that it may seek to change the definition through an amended complaint); see generally Retired Chicago Police Ass’n v. City of Chicago, 7 F.3d 584, 595 (7th Cir. 1993) (affirming trial court’s denial of class certification, because motion “attempted to redefine and significantly expand the scope of the class defined in the [plaintiffs] complaint”).

These cases are distinguishable from Farrar v. Mobil Oil Corporation, where landowner's sued Mobil Oil for breach of contract. 43 Kan.App.2d 871, 889-90, 234 P.3d 19 (2010). Three years into the litigation, “[t]hese claims were expanded” to add members who suffered a different type of. injury than those in the original class. Id. at 874, 234 P.3d 19 (emphasis added). The Kansas appellate court affirmed the trial court’s decision to certify such expanded class, noting that “[a] class may be altered, expanded, subdivided or abandoned as a case develops.” Id. at 889, 234 P.3d 19. Farrar is distinguishable, because there the plaintiffs’, claims were expanded, meaning the complaint was amended, as opposed to moving to certify a more expansive class.

Here, we do not hold that a class may not be expanded once a definition has been proposed in a complaint. We simply adhere to the rule that the proper procedural method to expand a class is by moving to amend the complaint, and then moving to certify, the newly defined class.

When Tropical Trailer filed its initial complaint, the Department moved to strike the class as overly broad, because it included any trailer owner (including those trailer owners that also owned the vehicle towing the trailer). Tropical Trailer amended its complaint to specifically exclude trailer owners that also owned the vehicle towing the trailer, and the amended complaint also, alleged the.class included at least forty of Tropical Trailer’s competitors. However, in its motion for class certification, Tropical Trailer proposed Classes A-C which included all trailer owners regardless of whether they also owned the vehicle pulling the trailer, arguing that even trailer owners who owned the vehicle towing the trailer suffered the injury of being assessed á toll based on the rear-plate video billing method. Apparently based on this new argument, the trial court certified a sub-class of all trailer owners, including those trailer owners excluded from the class definition in the amended complaint - those that owned the vehicle pulling the trailer.

Based on such a definition, Tropical Trailer alleged in its motion for class certification that the class grew exponentially from approximately 40 members to over 180,000 members. The massive expansion went far beyond the alleged class definition Tropical Trailer pled in its amended complaint, to which it was bound. See Reid v. Bradshaw, 302 So.2d 180, 183 (Fla. 1st DCA 1974) (noting “[t]he pleader is bound by his own allegations in the complaint.”).

Expanding a class beyond what was pled in the complaint unfairly surprised the Department, because it was not-on notice to defend against such a broad class definition. See generally Philip Morris USA, Inc. v. Scott, 131 S.Ct. 1, 3-4, 177 L.Ed.2d 1040 (2010) (Scalia, J., in chambers) (quoting Lindsey v. Normet, 405 U.S. 56, 66, 92 S.Ct. 862, 31 L.Ed.2d 36 (1972), and noting that due process guarantees “ ‘an opportunity to present every available defense.’ ”). Further, the procedural requirements are in place to ensure and protect the parties’ right to due process. See generally Ernie Haire Ford, Inc. v. Gilley, 903 So.2d 956, 959 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005) (reversing a trial court’s class certification where no motion for class certification was filed, on the grounds that it violated the defendant’s due-process right to be heard on the issue).

We hold that Tropical Trailer improperly sought to expand the scope of the class through its motion for class certification and, instead, should have further moved to amend its complaint. Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.220(d)(1). Further, the trial court abused its discretion by expanding the scope of the class beyond the class, definition proposed in. the amended complaint.

REVERSED and REMANDED.

LEWIS and ROWE, JJ., CONCUR.

      . Tropical Trailer argued that an amendment to section 316.003(21), Florida Statutes (2011), which became effective on July 1, 2012, redefined "motor vehicle” to include "trailers.” Ch. 2012-174, Laws of Fla.; see § 316.003(21), Fla. Stat. (2012) (adopting meaning found in section 320.01(l)(a) for purposes of section 316.1001, Florida Statutes).

    Jerald Anthony TUBBS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    CASE NO. 1D16-3510
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    Opinion filed November 8, 2017

      Mark S. Barnett and Curtis S. Fallgat-ter, Fallgatter & Catlin, P.A., Jacksonville, for Appellant.
    Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, and David Llanes, Assistant Attorney General, Tallahassee, for Appellee.
   PER CURIAM

Jerald Anthony Tubbs appeals from the summary denial of his motion to withdraw plea, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.170(Z). We agree with 'Mr. Tubbs that he is entitled to an evidentiary hearing on the motion because it is facially sufficient and is not conclusively refuted by the record.

I.

Mr. Tubbs was charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of cocaine, and possession of less than 20 grams cannabis. Because of his prior record he faced a lengthy prison sentence of up to 30 years. After an unsuccessful motion to suppress, Mr. Tubbs entered into a plea agreement with the State. The plea agreement called for a 13-year prison sentence, with a 10-year mandatory minimum. And the agreement allowed Mr. Tubbs to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress.

After almost completing the process of accepting the plea, the trial court abruptly stated that it would not accept the agreement. Following a bench conference that wasn’t transcribed, Mr. Tubbs tendered and the court accepted a revised plea agreement that eliminated Mr. Tubbs’ right to appeal the denial of his motion to suppress.

Mr. Tubbs subsequently filed a timely motion to withdraw his plea pursuant to Florida Rule of ' Criminal Procedure 3.170(Z ), alleging that his plea was involuntary. Mr. Tubbs’ motion alleged that during the side-bar the court informed the parties that it would not accept the agreed-upon negotiated plea and sentence due solely to the reservation of the right to appeal. His motion further alleged that the court, conditioned its acceptance of a plea on whether Mr. Tubbs (1) waived his right to appeal, or (2) pled open to the court, retaining his right to appeal, upon which the court would sentence him to more than the agreed upon 13 years, but less than 80 years. A successor trial judge summarily denied the motion to withdraw plea. The court found that the motion was conclusively refuted by the plea colloquy, in which the judge advised Mr. Tubbs that by entering his plea, he was forfeiting certain constitutional rights. Mr. Tubbs testified that he understood and still wished to enter his plea.

Pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.170(0, a defendant seeking to withdraw a plea after sentencing must show a manifest injustice requiring correction. Flemming v. State, 204 So.3d 950, 951 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016). “Examples of situations where withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice include cases where the defendant proves that he received ineffective assistance of counsel or where the defendant’s plea was involuntary.” Nelfrard v. State, 34 So.3d 221, 222 (Fla. 4th DCA 2010) (citing Williams v. State, 316 So.2d 267, 274 (Fla. 1975)). When engaging in plea discussions with a defendant, “[t]o avoid the potential for coercion, a judge must neither state nor imply alternative sentencing possibilities which hinge upon future procedural choices, such as the exercise of a defendant’s right to trial.” State v. Warner, 762 So.2d 507, 514 (Fla. 2000). Thus, pleas have been found involuntary under rule 3.170(l) when the trial judge indicates that a harsher sentence would be given if the defendant opts against a negotiated plea and wishes to pursue a motion to suppress. Opas v. State, 868 So.2d 598 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004). See also Taylor v. State, 870 So.2d 72, 73 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003) (“[T]he trial court’s statements strongly implied that Taylor would receive a harsher sentence if he did not accept the plea at that time.”). Cf. Fudge v. State, 45 So.3d 982 (Fla. 3d DCA 2010) (finding a sentence vindictive where it was increased because the defendant refused to waive his right to appeal); Correa v. State, 892 So.2d 1067 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) (same).

When a trial court' rules on a motion to withdraw plea it may only deny a legally sufficient motion without a hearing if the motion is conclusively refuted by the record. See, e.g., Jones v. State, 885 So.2d 449, 452 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). “Because the defendant bears the burden of proof, when a defendant files a facially sufficient motion to withdraw a plea, the trial court must either afford the defendant an evidentiary hearing or accept the defendant’s allegations in the motion as true except to the extent that they are conclusively refuted by the record.” Sheppard v. State, 17 So.3d 275, 283 (Fla. 2009) (quoting Iaconetti v. State, 869 So.2d 695, 699 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004)). “When determining ‘whether an allegation is conclusively refuted by the record, [a trial court] may rely on the sworn testimony the defendant has given in the plea colloquy. Any allegations that contradict those-answers should not be entertained.’ ” Johnson v. State, 22 So.3d 840, 844 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (citation omitted).

Here, Mr. Tubbs filed a facially sufficient motion alleging that his plea was involuntary because of the trial court’s unrecorded side-bar statements indicating that Mr. Tubbs would receive a more severe sentence if he did not take a negotiated plea and waive his right to appeal. See Fudge v. State, 45 So.3d at 983 (noting that a defendant’s refusal to waive his appellate rights is not a valid basis for imposing a harsher sentence).. The record doesn’t conclusively refute Mr. Tubbs’ allegations. It only shows that the trial court held an unrecorded side-bar right after stating that it couldn’t accept a plea deal previously agreed to by the State and Mr. Tubbs. Immediately after the unrecorded sidebar, the court accepted a new plea agreement that was identical to what had been agreed to before, except that Mr. Tubbs waived his right to appeal. In addition, the standard plea colloquy questions from the trial judge regarding the voluntariness of the plea asked after the side-bar—“Has anybody threatened you or coerced you or promised you anything to get you to do this?”—do not conclusively refute Mr. Tubbs’ coercion allegations. See, e.g., Voshell v. State, 187 So.3d 370, 371 (Fla. 1st DCA 2016) (“The attached plea colloquy transcript indicates the trial court conducted only a general inquiry into whether ‘anybody’ had ‘threatened, coerced, intimidated’ or ‘promised’ Appellant ‘anything])]’ This questioning does not conclusively refute his assertions.”).

III.

Accordingly, we reverse the denial of the motion to withdraw plea and remand with directions to hold an evidentiary hearing. Because of this disposition, we do not reach the merits of Mr. Tubbs’ motion to suppress argument.
