Summary
holding that a circuit court did not have jurisdiction to rule on a defendant's rule 3.800 motion filed during the pendency of his direct appeal
Summary of this case from Brown v. StateOpinion
No. 2D04-4139.
December 3, 2004.
Appeal pursuant to Fla.R.App.P. 9.141(b)(2) from the Circuit Court for Hillsborough County; Chet A. Tharpe, Judge.
Lisa Schrader seeks review of the order denying her motion for jail credit. Because her direct appeal is currently pending in this court, the circuit court did not have jurisdiction to rule on her motion. See Day v. State, 770 So.2d 1262 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000) (holding that effective January 13, 2000, a party may not file a Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a) motion during the pendency of a direct appeal). Accordingly, we reverse the order of the circuit court and remand with instructions to dismiss Schrader's motion for jail credit without prejudice for her to refile after her direct appeal is final.
Reversed and remanded.
CANADY and VILLANTI, JJ., concur.
