JACOB WESLEY SCOTT, APPELLANT,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA, APPELLEE

Fla. 2d DCA | 2008-02-29
No. 2D07-3749
FULMER, CASANUEVA, and CANADY, JJ., Concur.
976 So. 2d 628 Florida District Court of Appeal, Second District (2008) Positive Treatment

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Jacob Wesley Scott appeals the summary denial of his motion filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Mr. Scott filed the motion on July 7, 2007, while the direct appeal of his judgment and sentence in the same case was pending. Thus, the postconviction court improperly denied the motion rather than striking it as unauthorized. See Ladson v. State, 907 So. 2d 1288 (Fla. 2d DCA 2005). We reverse and remand for the postconviction court to strike the unauthorized motion. Once the mandate issues on his direct appeal, Mr. Scott may file a rule 3.800(a) motion on the same issue should he seek further relief. See id.

Reversed and remanded with instructions.

FULMER, CASANUEVA, and CANADY, JJ., Concur.
