DON S. GAINES, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 2002-01-28
No. 1D01-2841
ALLEN, C.J., and BENTON and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
806 So. 2d 575 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2002) Positive Treatment
Cited by 3 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court denied as successive the appellant’s motion filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Because the present motion was filed and ruled on while an appeal of one of the appellant’s previous Rule 3.800(a) motions, raising the same issue, was pending in this Court, the trial court did not have jurisdiction over the instant motion. See Bates v. State, 704 So. 2d 562 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997). The trial court therefore should have dismissed the motion for lack of jurisdiction, rather than having denied the motion. See Williams v. State, 795 So. 2d 975 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001). Accordingly, we vacate the order denying the motion and remand for the trial court to dismiss the motion.

VACATED AND REMANDED.

ALLEN, C.J., and BENTON and PADOVANO, JJ., concur.
