FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL STATE OF FLORIDA _____________________________
No. 1D2022-4013 _____________________________
KRISTOPHER LEE MADSON,
Appellant,
v.
STATE OF FLORIDA,
Appellee. _____________________________
On appeal from the Circuit Court for Alachua County. James M. Colaw, Judge.
December 6, 2023
PER CURIAM.
Because the direct appeal was already pending with this Court (1D22-3299), the trial court lacked jurisdiction to decide the merits of Appellant’s rule 3.800(a) motion. See Lowe v. State, 152 So. 3d 1279, 1280 (Fla. 1st DCA 2015) (“[W]e quash the orders denying the motion because the trial court lacked jurisdiction to rule on the motion while the direct appeal of Appellant’s judgment and sentence in these cases was pending in this court.”).
ORDER QUASHED.
ROBERTS, ROWE, and LONG, JJ., concur.
