ANTHONY CARACCIOLO, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 4th DCA | 1990-07-11
No. 89-2734
LETTS, WALDEN and POLEN, JJ., concur.
564 So. 2d 1163 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fourth District (1990) Negative Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant seeks review of a denial of his rule 3.850 motion below. This court on December 6, 1989, had per curiam affirmed the trial court’s denial of appellant’s motion on the basis that the motion was untimely filed. In his motion for rehearing, appellant called to our attention the authority of Gust v. State, 535 So. 2d 642 (Fla. 1st DCA 1988). Gust appears to be the only authority in Florida on this point, and supports appellant’s position that even though he pled guilty and waived his right to appeal, he may still file a rule 3.850 motion within two years from the date of sentencing, plus thirty days for appeal. Based on appellant’s argument, rehearing was granted and we have now considered the matter on the merits.

Having determined that the appellant has failed to demonstrate any error on the part of the trial court in denying his 3.850 motion, appellant’s convictions and sentences are, therefore, affirmed.

LETTS, WALDEN and POLEN, JJ., concur.

    …tion relief is essentially a motion to set aside the plea, and no previous appeal has been taken, the judgment and sentence do not become “final” for purposes of the rule until the thirty-day period for filing an appeal expires.

Because Rincon did not appeal his conviction and sentence, the time limit for filing a 3.850 motion began to run when the time for filing a notice of appeal expired, on or about February 26, 2005. See Caracciolo v. State, 564 So. 2d 1163 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990). Although the original motion was filed on the last day of the two-year time limit, the trial court could not consider the untimely July 2007 amended motion pursuant to rule 3.850. Cf. Gaskin v.
