GARY C. QUILLING, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 5th DCA | 2007-10-19
No. 5D07-2769
ORFINGER, MONACO and TORPY, JJ., concur.
968 So. 2d 1034 Florida District Court of Appeal, Fifth District (2007) Positive Treatment
Cited by 4 cases

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We dismiss this appeal as we lack jurisdiction. The trial court dismissed Appellant’s motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850 without prejudice to refile a proper, concise motion. As such, the trial court’s order is a non-final, non-appealable order. Lee v. State, 939 So. 2d 154 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006); Williams v. State, 884 So. 2d 374 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004). We reject Appellant’s argument that his motion for rehearing was timely filed because Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850(g) does not authorize rehearing motions directed to non-final orders dismissing without prejudice rule 3.850 motions.

APPEAL DISMISSED.

ORFINGER, MONACO and TORPY, JJ., concur.

This court dismissed the appeal without prejudice, concluding that Mr. Quilling was attempting to have us review a non-appealable non-final order. See Quilling v. State, 968 So. 2d 1034 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007). To confuse matters even further, Mr. Quilling also filed a petition alleging ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, which we also denied.
