JOHN F. CURRY, JR., APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 1995-06-28
No. 95-01361
THREADGILL, A.C.J., and BLUE and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.
657 So. 2d 50 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (1995) Negative Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

John F. Curry, Jr., appeals the dismissal of his motion to correct an illegal sentence under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). The trial court dismissed the motion, holding that it lacked jurisdiction because Curry’s direct appeal was pending. While a direct appeal is pending, a trial court has concurrent jurisdiction to correct an illegal sentence. See Easterling v. State, 596 So. 2d 103 (Fla. 2d DCA 1992).

Accordingly, we reverse the dismissal of Curry’s motion and remand for the trial court to consider the merits.

THREADGILL, A.C.J., and BLUE and WHATLEY, JJ., concur.

    …holding that it lacked jurisdiction because Carter’s direct appeal was [*604] pending. We affirm because Carter s claim is not based on a clerical error. On our own motion, we have considered this case en banc in order to recede from Curry v. State, 657 So. 2d 50 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995), review granted, 676 So. 2d 412 (Fla.1996), to the extent that it appears to broaden a trial court’s jurisdiction to rule on anything more than a clerical error under rule 3.800(a) when the defendant has a direct appeal pending.…
