Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Franklin Monfiston challenges the circuit court’s order denying his motion for postconviction relief as untimely filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Appellant’s motion was filed within two years of the date that the Supreme Court of Florida disposed of his petition for review of this court’s decision on direct appeal. As such, his motion was timely filed. See Ortiz v. State, 4 So.3d 794 (Fla. 4th DCA 2009); Witt v. State, 861 So.2d 1292 (Fla. 5th DCA 2004); Perkins v. State, 845 So.2d 273 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003); Cargle v. State, 800 So.2d 698 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001).

Accordingly, we reverse and remand for the circuit court to entertain appellant’s motion for postconviction relief.

Reversed and Remanded.

STEVENSON, MAY and DAMOORGIAN, JJ., concur.
