FRANK LAMONT WHEELER, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 1st DCA | 2005-12-19
No. 1D05-3942
WEBSTER, BROWNING and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
918 So. 2d 369 Florida District Court of Appeal, First District (2005) Positive Treatment
Cited by 15 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

The appellant challenges an order of the trial court dismissing his motion to correct an illegal sentence filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a), for lack of jurisdiction because the appellant had a pending appeal of an earlier postcon-viction motion. However, an appeal of a postconviction relief matter will not deprive the trial court of jurisdiction so long as the issues raised in the two cases are unrelated. See Bates v. State, 704 So. 2d 562 (Fla. 1st DCA 1997); Kimmel v. State, 629 So. 2d 1110 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994). A review of 1D05-2111 reveals that the issues pending appeal are unrelated to the issues raised in the present motion.

We therefore reverse the trial court’s dismissal of the appellant’s motion to correct an illegal sentence and remand for the trial court to address the appellant’s motion on the merits.

REVERSED AND REMANDED.

WEBSTER, BROWNING and POLSTON, JJ., concur.
