Opinion
Case No. 1D03-4084.
Opinion filed November 19, 2003.
An appeal from an order of the Circuit Court for Duval County, Charles Arnold, Jr., Judge.
Douglas Rex Brown, pro se, appellant.
Charlie Crist, Attorney General, Tallahassee, for appellee.
Having considered the appellant's response to this court's order dated September 26, 2003, we dismiss this appeal as premature. The appellant may file a timely notice of appeal after the trial court has rendered a final order on his 3.800(a) motion. The appellant's motion to relinquish jurisdiction, filed on October 8, 2003, is denied. See Maxwell v. Nugget Oil, Inc., 744 So.2d 1203 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999).
VAN NORTWICK, PADOVANO and HAWKES, JJ., concur.
NOT FINAL UNTIL TIME EXPIRES TO FILE REHEARING MOTION AND DISPOSITION THEREOF IF FILED.
