Opinion of the Court

September 22, 2021 PER CURIAM.

John Kimble appeals the summary denial of his motion to correct illegal sentence filed under Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). He argues that the trial court imposed a vindictive sentence when he was resentenced pursuant to a successful motion to correct sentencing error. Because the postconviction court properly determined that a vindictive sentencing claim is not cognizable under rule 3.800(a), we affirm. See Jackson v. State, 193 So. 3d 1, 1 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014); Buono v. State, 900 So. 2d 672, 672 (Fla. 5th DCA 2005); Taylor v. State, 897 So. 2d 495, 496 (Fla. 3d DCA 2005); Boyd v. State, 880 So. 2d 726, 727 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004).

AFFIRMED.
