PER CURIAM.
Wanas Walls appeals an order rendered by the circuit court, which summarily denied his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. At the time the trial court ruled on this motion, Walls had a final appeal pending in this court. The circuit court therefore lacked jurisdiction to enter the order. Its order is properly deemed a nullity. See Leonard v. State, 835 So. 2d 1210 (Fla. 4th DCA), review denied, 845 So. 2d 891 (Fla.2003).
Accordingly, we vacate the circuit court’s order of April 15, 2003. On remand, we direct the circuit court to either dismiss the motion with leave to refile or stay proceedings on the motion pending resolution of appellant’s direct appeal and, thereafter, enter a new ruling on the motion. See Leonard; Perez v. State, 834 So. 2d 882 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002)(en banc).

Carter, 525 U.S. at 90, 119 S.Ct. 469. These cases also undergird the holding of Hicks v. State, 852 So. 2d 954 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003), which is most similar, factually, to Ms. Washington’s situation. In Hicks, the court found that the defendant had no standing to challenge the seizure of items from a room in a house where he was a short-term, nonovernight invit…
