Mathis v. State

Mathis v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided October 16, 1984 · Mons, Nim, Shivers, Wentworth
456 So. 2d 1339; 9 Fla. L. Weekly 2197; 1984 Fla. App. LEXIS 15482 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Mathis v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

We interpret the order appealed to be a ruling on the motion for post-conviction relief, and we agree with appellant and appellee that the trial court did not have jurisdiction to rule on the motion due to the pendency of the direct appeal of the judgment and sentence. Therefore, the order entered by the trial court on April 24, 1984, is quashed.

SHIVERS, WENTWORTH and NIM-MONS, JJ., concur.
