Andre Santonio HILL, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

Andre Santonio Hill, Mayo, pro se. Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Georgina Jimenez–Orosa, Senior Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Andre Santonio Hill, Mayo, pro se.

Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Georgina Jimenez–Orosa, Senior Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

Appellant Andre Hill appeals the trial court's order striking his rule 3.800(a) motion to correct illegal sentence. The court found that it lacked jurisdiction to consider the motion due to appellant's pending appeal from the denial of a related claim in a rule 3.850 motion for post-conviction relief. We affirm.

We also find that appellant's claim is meritless. Robbery with a deadly weapon is a first degree felony punishable by life imprisonment. § 812.13(2)(a), Fla. Stat. (2003). The trial court was required to impose a life sentence under the prison releasee reoffender statute. See § 775.082(9)(a)3.a., Fla. Stat. (2003); McDonald v. State, 957 So.2d 605, 612–13 (Fla.2007).

Affirmed.
