Sampson v. State

Full title: ROBERT SAMPSON, Appellant, v. STATE OF FLORIDA, Appellee

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District

Date published: Feb 9, 2001

794 So. 2d 611 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2001)

Opinion

No. 2D00-4717.

Opinion filed February 9, 2001.

Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County; Phillip J. Federico, Judge.

Patterson, Chief Judge.

Robert Sampson appeals from the dismissal of his motion to reduce sentence pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(c). The trial court dismissed the motion for lack of jurisdiction, and we treat this appeal as a petition for writ of certiorari. See Martin v. State, 754 So.2d 793 (Fla. 2d DCA 2000); Davis v. State, 745 So.2d 499 (Fla. 1st DCA 1998). We deny the petition because Sampson filed his motion to reduce sentence well outside the sixty-day time limit provided for in rule 3.800(c).

Blue and Fulmer, JJ., Concur.
