[*664] NORTHCUTT, Judge.
Emmitt Eugene Bunkley appeals the summary denial of his motion for postcon-vietion relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Bunkley’s direct appeal is currently pending; therefore, the trial court was without jurisdiction to rule on Bunkley’s motion for post-conviction relief. See Daniels v. State, 712 So. 2d 765 (Fla.1998). A prematurely filed motion for postconviction relief should be dismissed by a trial court and may be refiled after the direct appeal is final. Ortiz v. State, 768 So. 2d 1177 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000). We, thus, reverse the order of the trial court and remand with instructions to dismiss Bunkley’s motion for postconviction relief without prejudice to Bunkley’s right to refile after his direct appeal is final.
Reversed and remanded.
