CASANUEVA, Judge.

William G. Gawronski appeals the summary dismissal of his motion for postcon-viction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. The trial court dismissed Gawroriski’s motion finding that it did not have jurisdiction to entertain it because Gawronski had simultaneously filed a petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel in this court pursuant to Florida Rule of Appellate Procedure 9.141(c). Gawronski correctly argued to the trial court that the pendency of the rule 9.141(c) petition did not deprive it of jurisdiction to entertain the rule-3.850 motion. See Francois v. Klein, 431 So. 2d 165 (Fla.1983) (holding that because a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel is necessarily separate and distinct from a claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, the two claims may proceed simultaneously without danger of conflicting and confusing rulings by different courts); Baber v. State, 696 So. 2d 490 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). We therefore reverse and remand for the trial court to consider the merits of Gaw-ronski’s motion.

While the trial court erroneously believed it did not have jurisdiction to consider Beam’s motion, see Gawronski v. State, 801 So. 2d 211 (Fla. 2nd DCA 2001), we nonetheless affirm, concluding Beam’s second rule 3.850 motion to be procedurally barred as an abusive, successive motion. See Owen v.
