KRISTOPHER LEE MADSON,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee.
_____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County.
James M. Colaw, Judge.
December 6, 2023
PER CURIAM.
Because the direct appeal was already pending with this
Court (1D22-3299), the trial court lacked jurisdiction to decide the
merits of Appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. See Lowe v. State,
152
So. 3d 1279, 1280 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (“[W]e quash the orders
denying the motion because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to
rule on the motion while the direct appeal of Appellant’s judgment
and sentence in these cases was pending in this court.”).
ORDER QUASHED.
ROBERTS, ROWE, and LONG, JJ., concur.
_____________________________
Not final until disposition of any timely and
authorized motion under Fla. R. App. P. 9.330 or
9.331.
