Reno Wolfgang, Punta Gorda, pro se.

R. Wesley Bradshaw, of Bradshaw & Mountjoy, P.A., Inverness, for Appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Reno Wolfgang appeals the dismissal of his cause of action for replevin seeking return of property seized during the course of a criminal investigation. We affirm. See Pondella Hall For Hire, Inc. v. City of St. Cloud, 837 So.2d 510, 511–12 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) (concluding trial court correctly dismissed replevin action because it lacked jurisdiction; cause of action must be brought in court with jurisdiction over the criminal proceedings (citing Eight Hundred Inc. v. State, 781 So.2d 1187, 1190–91 (Fla. 5th DCA 2001) )).¹

1 We note that the dismissal is without prejudice to Wolfgang pursuing his claim in the appropriate court. SeePondella Hall For Hire, Inc., 837 So.2d at 512.
