Wallace v. State, 249 So. 3d 791 (2018)

July 27, 2018 · District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District · Case No. 5D18-279

249 So. 3d 791

Brian WALLACE, Appellant,
v.
STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Case No. 5D18-279

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.

Opinion filed July 27, 2018

James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Danielle Renee Rufai, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Kaylee D. Tatman, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm Appellant's judgment and sentence. However, as the State properly concedes, the trial court was without jurisdiction to rule on Appellant's Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(c) motion while his direct appeal was pending. See, e.g. , Liranzo-Cruzata v. State , 6 So.3d 114 (Fla. 2d DCA 2009) ; Mowatt v. State , 963 So.2d 348 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007). We therefore reverse the order denying Appellant's rule 3.800(c) motion and remand for the trial court to enter a new order on Appellant's aforementioned motion.

AFFIRMED, in part; REVERSED, in part; and REMANDED.

EVANDER, BERGER and WALLIS, JJ., concur.
